Madrid once again hosts this year the Mad Cool And although the festival doesn’t take place until July, the capital is the scene of a small preview on a key date for the city: during the San Isidro festivities. In collaboration with the City Council, during the days when the capital dresses up as a chulapa to accommodate one of the most traditional celebrations The Mad Cool Stage will be deployed, with the aim of offering “a unique and quality musical experience around music beyond the days of the festival”.
The event, totally freetakes place on Saturday May 13, one of the big days of the festivities of San Isidro —in addition to the day of the city’s patron saint—, and both the City Council and the festival organizers themselves have a common goal: “to bring live music closer and bet on culture”. This preview of Mad Cool will take place on the San Isidro stage installed in the Matadero and has four performances, which take place throughout the afternoon and night of the day:
THE DJs, also called the Synchronized Animal Legion, They are two DJs who go on stage masked as a panther and a wolf and play all kinds of music. His specialty is nasty house, bass house and latin house. The second performance is carried out by girlie (Milly Toomey), a British singer and rapper who began her career singing in clubs before the BBC Radio 1 intercepted it. Currently his music has its own style, a mix between ‘bubblegum pop’‘rap’ and ‘punk’ and in his themes you can see his interest in queer culture and psychological issues.
The third band that will play during the Mad Cool night (not being Mad Cool) is sports team, a British alternative rock band that was born while all of its members were studying at the University of Cambridge. Parallel to their studies, they decided to start composing songs around love stories in the suburbs, and they would go out to play at night in venues in the city. Over time they have ended up acquiring a certain relevance thanks to the fact that they became a revelation group that would speak on many occasions about the discomfort of generation Zwith a certain tone of protest.
The last to get on the Mad Cool stage of San Isidro They are Cupido, the musical project that was born from the union between the trapper Pimp Flaco and the indie band Solo Astra. One of Cupid’s great successes is ‘Autoestima’, a song that in its version in collaboration with Lola Índigo has exceeded 100,000 ‘likes’ on YouTube. They made themselves known at the Primavera Club in 2018 and since then it has not stopped growing, filling entire rooms, as it did in the Riviera in Madrid. These are the schedules of the four groups participating in the free Mad Cool ‘minifestival’ in San Isidro.
- At 7:30 p.m. prick THE DJs
- At 8:20 p.m. sings girlie
- At 9:45 p.m. touch sports team
