“Live music in Spain is always fantastic,” says guitarist Sam Halliday, “they always know how to party!”īassist Kevin Baird reminisced on the band’s 2016 performance as well: “I remember the backstage area had all these ruins of a cathedral-type building,” he says, before noting that Mad Cool has changed locations as they’ve gotten bigger. Two Door Cinema Club indeed played Mad Cool festival back in 2016, which was the festival’s inaugural year, and they’re certainly looking forward to returning to Madrid this summer. Mad Cool contains a bit more than your usual music festival - the event’s organizers have worked tirelessly to foster a unique festival culture, and it’s one that has artists beaming after they leave the stage. Two Door Cinema Club are set to perform on the festival’s final day, which is Sunday, July 10th. With a lineup that boasts Metallica, Jack White, Florence + The Machine, The Killers, Muse, and Twenty One Pilots, Mad Cool also features some standout bookings like Foals, Glass Animals, CHVRCHES, Phoebe Bridgers, Carly Rae Jepsen, Deftones, Flume, Nathy Peluso, and many more.

And now, after a lengthy lockdown and with new music in tow, Two Door Cinema Club are back on the festival circuit, including an appearance at this year’s Mad Cool Festival in Madrid (get tickets here).

Throughout the last 12 years, the Northern Ireland trio has shot from the tiny fonts to festival favorites, making appearances at nearly every major music festival in both the US and Europe.

Fresh off the announcement of their fifth studio album, Keep On Smiling, as well as the release of their euphoric new single “Wonderful Life,” Two Door Cinema Club are riding high with momentum.
