There are also a few more acts added to the line-up: Colin Peters, who will perform on July 12th and DJ and producer Juan Sueiro performing on July 13th. In addition, due to a last minute change, Repion – a band selected through Mad Cool Talent – will finally perform on Saturday, July 13th.
MAD COOL AND NOS ALIVE: PARTNERED FESTIVALS
On the other hand, the good relationship between Mad Cool and NOS Alive in Lisbon sees the exchange of bands between both festivals, once again. Portuguese singer-songwriter Churky (Diogo Alexandre da Silva Rico Rodrigues) winner of the EDP Live Bands 2018 contest, will join Mad Cool on July 12th, while Madrid-based Morgan will perform in Lisbon on Saturday, July 14th.
SPECIAL 3 DAY TICKETS ON SALE FOR MAD COOL 2018 Due to the increase in the resale of tickets for Mad Cool 2018 over the past weeks, often at exorbitant prices, Mad Cool Festival has decided to sell 1.000 extra 3 day tickets (within the legal venue capacity) to stop fraudulent ticket reselling.
If you do not have your 3 day ticket for Mad Cool 2018 yet, it is your chance to buy it legally and for the official price. The festival will not accept any claims regarding tickets purchased at unofficial selling points. Should any problem arise with unofficial tickets purchased, holders will have to submit a claim to that particular selling point.
This is a unique opportunity as tickets for Mad Cool 2018 sold out on January 10th, more than six months before the beginning of the festival and the confirmation of acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Jack White, Dua Lipa, Post Malone, Underworld, Eels, Richie Hawtin or Jet. It is also the last chance to attend the festival on Thursday July 12th (headlined by Pearl Jam), since individual tickets for that day sold out on April 4th.
