Brunch Electronik and Mad Cool festival have teamed up, and announced the full line-up for the 2025 edition. Check it out below.
Mad Cool 2025 will run between July 10 and 13 this year, and return to its home of Villaverde in Madrid.
Festival organisers have shared that the site has undergone a series of improvements –including a reduction in the number of stages, as well as a general reduction in public capacity to reduce schedule conflicts and artist overlaps. Now, it has been confirmed that the organisers have launched a new partnership with Brunch Electronik.
The collaboration comes following the brand’s reputation for boundary-pushing electronic music. To celebrate, various DJ sets have been revealed for this year’s instalment. Peggy Gou has been confirmed as the headliner for the first edition of Brunch Electronik x Mad Cool, and will be showcasing her distinctive blend of house and techno.
Jungle will also be making their way over to Madrid for the 2025 edition, showcasing a DJ set that will blend funk, soul, and electronic music.
Tech-house artist Mau P – who rose to prominence with the viral hit ‘Drugs From Amsterdam’ – has been added to the bill too, as has Madrid’s own Macarena Hoffmann, who will be bringing her signature mix of house and Afro rhythms to the stage. All four will be performing on Sunday (July 13).
