MAD COOL CELEBRATES ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY WITH MORE THAN 200,000 ATTENDEES

Mad Cool Festival celebrated its tenth anniversary from 8th to 11th July 2026 at Iberdrola Music in Madrid, welcoming more than 200,000 attendees across four days and presenting a line-up of over 70 rock, pop, indie and electronic artists.

Opening day on 8th July was headlined by Foo Fighters, who delivered a performance lasting more than two hours, joined by Wolf Alice, The Warning, The Last Dinner Party, The War On Drugs and Moby. On 9th July, Lorde, Zara Larsson, Jennie and Florence + The Machine took to the stage, delivering one of the festival’s most acclaimed performances.

The third day featured Halsey, Pixies, Kings Of Leon, A Perfect Circle, Interpol and Twenty One Pilots, offering a programme driven by powerful guitar performances and large-scale stage productions. The festival came to an end on 11th July with The Black Crowes, Kasabian, David Byrne, Pulp and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, whose set was widely recognised by the media as one of the defining moments of the tenth anniversary edition.

Alongside the live music programme, the venue hosted branded experiences, food and beverage areas, and complementary attractions including ‘La Casita Vibra Mahou’, created to celebrate ten years of collaboration between the brand and the festival.

Thanks to the continued trust of Mad Cool Festival, Fluge Audiovisuales supplied the sound, lighting and video systems for ‘Madrid Stage’, the complete video system for the ‘Orange Stage’, and the technical infrastructure installed at the Vibra Mahou stand, among other services.
