You’ve helped us managed to sell out all the passes six months before the start of 2018 edition. We know that this has been possible thanks to a line up in which there has been a succession of new and consolidated artists whose common denominator is authenticity. In this new round of confirmations the presence of Jack White stands out, former leader and founder of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, will return to Spain for the first time since 2012. White will present his new album Boarding House Reach at Mad Cool and will do occupying one of the two main slots reserved for Friday July 13th. ELECTRONIC CULT HEROES Richie Hawtin Close will be one of the artists that will be part of the electronic music show of the 2018’s edition. After more than a career of 20 years, the Canadian DJ and producer is one of the greatest idols in the history of Techno. But there’s more: we will also have the avant-garde minimalism of Daniel Avery and the highly successful duo Odesza. A DIFFERENT KIND OF CROONERS Among the new confirmations stands out the unmistakable Eels. Mark Oliver Everett (also known as Mr. E) has become a cult artist thanks to his personal vision of the world which he has reflected in his albums and his books. Everett will arrive in Mad Cool 2018 with The Deconstruction : a new LP that puts an end to the artist long four year break. The know-how from Mad Cool 2018‘s bands it is also shared between the successful British singer and composer James Bay, the mature soul of Leon Bridges and the psychedelic flings of Kevin Morby.

Also The Big Moon, a British Rock trio that’s causing a sensation in her country thanks to updating the grunge sounds as well as Britpop, is another female fronted band that will shine bright in this new edition. RAP LANDS AT MAD COOL 2018 You could say that the place reserved for the urban sounds is another of the great characteristics of Mad Cool 2018 line up.
