Over the pandemic, we have been sadly starved of the excitement of festival lineups being announced, or being able to spend our summers caked in mud and glitter while watching the world’s best bands – but as the pandemic draws to a close all that is about to change as Mad Cool festival has announced their line up for 2022.
The festival has been teasing the lineup announcement throughout the beginning of June, revealing just a couple of letters on their poster each day.
