Mad Cool Fest 2018: Depeche Mode, Pearl Jam, And Jack White Among Headliners

It is going to be another cool summer in Madrid, Spain with the reveal of this year's Mad Cool Festival lineup.

Great acts from rock, techno, dance, house, and electro sets are booked to perform, with 1990s bands Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, and The White Stripes frontman Jack White set to headline the three-day event.

Pearl Jam opens the festival on July 12 as part of its leg of European tours in 2018. The summer festival marks the band's second reunion since they performed during their induction into the Rock and Hall of Fame earlier in 2017.

Fans can catch the band members such as Eddie Vedder (frontman), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), Mike McCready (lead guitar), and Jeff Ament (bass) ahead of the festival during their European tour, which kicks off at the Lollapalooza in Chile on March 16 and wraps up with an appearance at NOS Alive Festival in Lisbon on July 14 after the Mad Cool Festival.

They also have booked performances in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil on March 16, 18, and 24, respectively. They will also be performing at Barcelona's Palau St. Jordi on July 10.

The other performers at the Mad Cool Festival under Pearl Jam's schedule include Fleet Foxes, Kasabian, Tame Impala, Washed Out, and Leon Bridges, to name a few. Local performers include the alternative and indie rock group Modelo De Respuesta Polara and Conttra.

Indie group Yo La Tengo also performs at the festival ahead of their North American tour for its new album There's A Riot Going On. The tour begins in Minneapolis on March 28 and ends in Nashville on April 13 and 14.

On July 13, The White Stripes lead singer Jack White headlines the Mad Cool Festival with his new album Boarding House Reach. This is the first time he returns to Spain since 2012.

The other lineup includes Massive Attack, Alice In Chains, James Bay, Snow Patrol, and Black Pistol Fire, to name a few. Odesza also likely performs a live version of her song "Across The Room " at the festival.

Meanwhile, two bands headline the final day of the Mad Cool Festival, namely the Depeche Mode and Queens of the Stone Age. Other performers on July 14 include the Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, Wolf Alice, The Black Madonna, Rival Sons, and Richie Hawtin Close.
