Mad Cool 2024 is well under way, with day three offering a string of unforgettable performances from some of music’s most exciting names.

Black Pumas bring the groove to the Mad Cool stage
Black Pumas offer the perfect soundtrack to the hazy, pink Madrid sunset through a soul-stirring psychedelic set. Fans in the front row were even treated to a personal serenade from Eric Burton, as he jumped down from the stage to get closer to those braving the barrier in the heat.
Sum 41 play one of their last shows in Madrid
The pop-punk icons drew one of the festival’s biggest crowds last night, with fans keen to hear hits ‘In Too Deep’ and ‘Fat Lip’ live in Spain. It marked their last festival slot in the city before they return for their farewell headline show later this year.
