Mad Cool Festival, slated to take place from July 6 to July 10, has announced its final lineup. The festival is held annually in Madrid, Spain, every year and will feature over 100 acts.

One thing Queens of the Stone Age fans must take note of is that the festival page on social media has mentioned that the band will not be able to perform at this edition of Mad Cool.

The tickets to the festival are available through the festival’s website. Single-day passes for Saturday and Sunday are priced at €75, while the VIP ticket for Sunday, July 10, is priced at €99.
