Mad Cool 2025 gets off to a rough start: power outages at main stages and Iggy Pop's attempted cancellation.

The night began calmly, a peace that no one expected to be the precursor to a storm of technical failures. Mad Cool 2025 's two main stages failed just as the headliners took the stage.

The first to suffer the setbacks was Gracie Abrams . Barely 40 minutes after her departure, Stage 1, the main stage, collapsed. The situation took the singer by surprise, as she leaned on her fans singing a cappella , accompanied by a sea of ​​voices. The singer herself approached the edge of the stage, guitar in hand, trying to keep up, as best she could, with a performance that could only be heard in the front rows.

The humor began to emerge: "We're listening to a beautiful concert," proclaimed one attendee. Some left, while others took advantage of the distraction to go deeper. Without screens, but with the sound at full volume, he returned after 20 minutes, in a good mood, proclaiming that this was a magical day, singing "Close to You." After the concert, and with the scare gone, the technicians commented that it had been a power failure, hoping "it doesn't happen again."

It was of little use when Iggy Pop , the second headliner, failed again. Rumor had it that the American was happier than thinking about singing, and the official version proclaimed that "due to technical reasons, we have been forced to interrupt the show. We are working to resolve it. Please await further communication and remain calm."

This didn't go down too well with the audience, who, far from being as motivated as the first time, began to whistle, with the singer sticking his finger out in the way one only does when one is angry. This time, it only took 15 minutes for the problems to end and everything to return to normal.
