Mad Cool 2025 was headlined by Olivia Rodrigo, Iggy Pop, Alanis Morrisette, Weezer, Kings of Leon and Thirty Seconds To Mars.

The festival moved to a new site in Madrid in 2023. Reviewing the festival that year, Rolling Stone UK said: “It’s a near-perfect pilgrimage for music fans across Europe. 2023 may have marked a new festival site for Mad Cool, but the charm, slickness and incredible line-up remained firmly intact.”
