“As well as announcing the first names set to appear at next year’s installment, the organizers at Mad Cool have also announced ways that it will be making improvements across the site to improve the overall attendee experience,” NME relayed. “This includes a reduction in the number of stages, going from eight to six, as well as a general reduction in public capacity. These look to improve flows within the festival and reduce schedule conflicts and artist overlaps.”
