🎸 MAD COOL FESTIVAL 2026 UNVEILS STELLAR LINEUP — FOO FIGHTERS, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, FLORENCE + THE MACHINE LEAD THE CHARGE
The Mad Cool Festival in Madrid has once again set the global music world ablaze. Organizers have officially announced the 2026 lineup, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Headlined by Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Pulp, Lorde, Pixies, A Perfect Circle, Interpol, and Wolf Alice, the festival promises an electrifying mix of rock, alternative, and indie brilliance that will light up the Spanish capital next summer.
Set to take place in Madrid from July 8–12, 2026, Mad Cool continues its reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting and eclectic music festivals. The announcement has already sent fans into a frenzy across social media, with thousands expressing excitement at what many are calling “the most powerful lineup in the festival’s history.”
Leading the pack are the Foo Fighters, still riding high from their acclaimed 2025 tour and emotional performances celebrating their legacy of resilience and raw energy. Following them closely, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bring decades of funk-rock mastery and a renewed vigor after teasing new material earlier this year. Their return to Spain marks their first Mad Cool appearance since 2017 — a performance that fans still describe as legendary.
Florence + The Machine will add a touch of ethereal magic to the festival’s soundscape. Known for her spellbinding vocals and powerful stage presence, Florence Welch’s band is expected to deliver a deeply emotive set featuring both classics and songs from her upcoming album. Meanwhile, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds promise a darker, cinematic counterpoint, with Cave’s poetic storytelling and commanding presence sure to captivate the Madrid night.
British icons Pulp will bring their signature wit and Britpop nostalgia, likely turning the festival grounds into a massive singalong. Lorde, the New Zealand sensation, adds a modern edge with her genre-bending artistry and emotionally charged performances, while Pixies, A Perfect Circle, and Interpol round out the lineup with alternative rock muscle and timeless influence. Rising acts like Wolf Alice are expected to energize a new generation of fans, proving that Mad Cool 2026 isn’t just about legends—it’s about the future of rock, too.
Festival organizers hinted at more artists to be announced, teasing a few surprises that could include genre-crossing collaborations and exclusive sets. With multiple stages, art installations, and an unbeatable summer atmosphere, Mad Cool 2026 is poised to deliver one of the biggest live music events of the year.
Tickets are expected to go on sale later this month, and early interest suggests they won’t last long. Fans around the world are already making travel plans to be part of what promises to be a historic celebration of sound, energy, and unity.
In a world hungry for unforgettable live experiences, Mad Cool Festival 2026 looks set to be a defining moment — a meeting point for icons, innovators, and the heartbeat of rock itself. 🎶🔥
