Mad Cool Festival 2027

Mad Cool Festival celebrates its eleventh edition in 2027 at the Iberdrola Music venue in Villaverde, with a line-up of bands and artists such as Foo Fighters, Lorde and Florence + The Machine.

Mad Cool Festival reaches its eleventh edition in 2027 at the Iberdrola Music venue in Villaverde, a concert and show space in Madrid where the festival has been held since 2023. The programme combines an ambitious line-up with an experiential dimension, and the organisers stress that the festival's growth has not come at the expense of production quality. The venue stands out for its capacity, accessibility and infrastructure.

Since its first edition in 2016, the line-up has featured The Cure, Neil Young, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Green Day, The Who, Lauryn Hill and Foo Fighters. In 2018 the festival received the NME Award for Best Line-Up of the Year, presented by the British magazine NME. Its tenth anniversary, in 2026, brought together Foo Fighters, Moby, Florence + The Machine, Lorde and Nick Cave, along with Twenty One Pilots, Kings of Leon and The Black Crowes.

The final night of the 2026 edition put the spotlight on rock and more classic sounds.
