Madcool Festival 2026: Artists You Can’t Miss

As the days get hotter and hotter, and temperatures start pushing the limits, festival season is finally right around the corner. So what better way to get in the mood than by taking a look at the insane Madcool Festival’s lineup? 

The lineup is mad packed as usual. The festival is taking place from the 8th of July until the 11th in Madrid, Spain. The strength of the Madcool Festival lies in its ability to bring together big artists from completely different worlds on several stages. 

Among the headliners, we have humongous names like Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, Twenty One Pilots and Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. But let’s not forget other, smaller, important figures that, we promise, will steal your heart. Chloe Slater, The Last Dinner Party, Sigrid, and The Warning are incredible performers you shouldn't miss.

The band formed by ex-Nirvana member Dave Grohl needs no introduction. After 15 Grammy Awards, Foo Fighters are among the most successful rock acts in Grammy history and will perform Wednesday, showcasing their new album “Your Favourite Toy” to open the festivities.

After performing at Madcool festival in 2022, Florence + The Machine comes back this year stronger than ever and remains a must-see. Since the release of Lungs in 2009, Florence Welch has consistently captivated audiences with her unique stage presence and extremely powerful voice. A rare opportunity to see, live, one of the greatest voices of her generation. 

The genre-bending musical duo known as Twenty One Pilots will be on stage Friday night. With concerning but deeply personal lyrics, unexpected acrobatics, and several global hits like Heathens, Car Radio, or Stressed Out, the band is an act you can’t miss.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds are an australian alternative band leaded by frontman Nick Cave. Formed in 1983, the iconic band will performs for the first time at the festival Saturday 11th of July and close the festivities.

Packed with amazing artists year after year, Madcool Festival is on its way to becoming a legendary festival! So if you haven't experienced it before, don't miss this amazing year.
