Mad Cool has not resisted the coronavirus health crisis either and will not be able to hold this year's edition. This has been announced by its organizers through a statement in which they point out that the "most real and feasible" option is for the festival held in Madrid to be postponed to the same dates in 2021 with a similar poster for the "feedback very positive "that the artists composing it for 2020 are showing.

"If we told you a few days ago that the possibilities of celebrating Mad Cool were very limited, today we have to tell you, with great sincerity, that the festival is not going to be able to take place on the scheduled dates," stated in a letter in the that it is stated that this year's tickets will be valid for the next edition and that the money will be returned to those who request it. "Keep in mind that whoever wants the refund of the entrance fee will get a refund", indicates the organization of the event.

An event that was to be held between July 8 and 11, both days inclusive, at the Ifema fairgrounds and which featured artists such as Kings of Lion, Mumford and Sons, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift or The Killers among their headliners for the weekend. Some artists that, according to the statement, Mad Cool will try to "re-standardize" for the next edition and add "new names" in order to develop "a new great edition that exceeds expectations." "Your fidelity forces us not to fail you," continues the letter.

"Right now we are waiting for the Government to decree the cause of force majeure to be able to solve everything correctly. Unfortunately, we cannot make a decision unilaterally , since there are hundreds of contracts for artists, suppliers, sponsors, freelancers , etc ... who need this type of government resolution, "says the organization before thanking the" essential "work of assemblers, technical teams, auxiliary companies, suppliers and security that" put their grain of sand to set up this great little city which is Mad Cool. "

In the letter, the organization details that the decision "has not been easy", but ensures that "safety and health are above all ." "You are the most important thing for the festival and we need you, your people and your family to take care of yourself and pay attention to the recommendations of the health authorities," concludes a future edition in 2021.
