Here are the brilliant and essential new artists that won the Friday evening of Mad Cool Festival 2024 Mad Cool Festival family, how are we feeling?! Last night (July 12), festival-goers enjoyed a third night of musical magic, basking in the gorgeous weather while being treated to fantastic performances from Black Pumas, Alvvays and local emerging talent like Julia Sabaté. With only one day of Mad Cool 2024 left to go, it was clear that attendees wanted to savour every last moment. Team NME felt the same: we spent the evening running between stages, following anything that caught our eyes and ears.
