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).
At the end of last year, the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Kings of Leon and Noah Kahan were among the first wave of acts announced as part of Mad Cool 2025’s line-up.
Others included punk legend Iggy Pop, Alanis Morrisette, Weezer (who will be performing in Madrid for the first time in 20 years), Thirty Second to Mars, Gracie Abrams, St. Vincent, Justice, Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wombats, Jet, and Glass Animals.
A second wave of additions to the line-up was later announced and revealed that Nine Inch Nails, Geordie Greep, Bad Nerves, Chloé Caillet and Kingfishr would be performing.

As well as announcing the partnership with Brunch Electronik, the artists who won the 2025 edition of Mad Cool Talent by Vibra Mahou have been shared.
