10 Best Indie Music Festivals
Indie festivals were born in the nineties as a meeting point for lovers of alternative pop rock. The music scene lived in its den, isolated from the commercial radio formula and closed to anything that didn’t sound as traditional. But, little by little, as it emerged from the underground, it opened first to electronics, then to world music, then to the mainstream, and now to urban movement!
Mad Cool
Mad Cool has become one of the most acclaimed festivals. In addition to great pop figures such as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Iggy Pop, The Smashing Pumpkins, The National, Vetusta Morla, Teenage Fanclub, The Cure, Cat Power, Gossip or Lauryn Hill, in 2019, Rosalía also appeared!
Mad Cool is now the new king of festivals in Spain, they closed in 2019, with more than 240,000 attendees! Also, they expanded the relaxation areas and the restaurant areas, they have eliminated a “stage” to have more spaces for the flow of the public, eliminated the VIP areas in front-stage, improved the entrance hall to the enclosure, the entrances, and the WC!
If you like indie music, you have to go to Madrid to enjoy this experience. In 2022, it will last a total of five days: July 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10!
