californians Red Hot Chili Peppers are scheduled to close the festival on Saturday, July 8, a day in which the British Liam Gallagher and The Prodigy will also perform.
One of the great novelties of this edition is the transfer of the festival, in what will be its third location. After starting in the Caja Mágica and later in Valdebebas, it will now take its facilities next to the El Gato industrial estate and the Villaverde Industrial Factory.
The organizers have defined this point as broad and well connected with public transport, a controversial aspect last edition due to the long queues to leave the venue through an agreement with the Uber platform.
In 2022, Mad Cool brought together 305,000 viewers -a daily average of 70,000 people- with more than a hundred bands, including The Killers, Metallica, Muse, Imagine Dragons, Natos and Waor or Nathy Peluso.
