    Just back from Madrid after the Mad Cool festival. Was there for the 3 days. Can agree with most of the comments here regarding organisation as it was really poor specially on the first day. The queue at start was ridiculous and then the queue for the wristbands was insane. Thought the VIP area at the stages was a joke they were mostly half empty. Josh Homme slagged the VIPare off last night and encouraged those outside the fence to jump over! This was my first ever European festival. As much as I enjoyed Pearl Jam’s set  I don’t know if I want to do a festival again.

    I think we got really lucky with Mad Cool, having VIP passes we had to wait a bit for the venue to open, around 5 ish but then pretty much walked straight in, complained about the wait so the gave us free water and a gift pack, then walked over to the VIP vbar where they had super cheap drinks, watched alot of other shows from there as great view, about 45 mins before PJ came on walked down into the VIP area near the stage and got with one row of the front, they put on a amazing concert, we were so close got to drink some of Eddies wine, needs to start drinking better stuff!!!!!, The only major issue we had was leaving, over 10000 people trying to get a taxi walked for about a kilometer and then managed to flag one down on the road, but keep hearing horror stories about other stuff going on so think we were really lucky, one thing I did see was a girl collapse and start throwing up from heat and it took about 20 mins for medical assistance to arrive which in my book is simple unacceptable, it could have turned out to be something alot worse and then they would have had a fatality!!!
