K-pop supernova JENNIE ignited the main stage at Mad Cool 2026 in Madrid, Thursday, July 9th, leaving the packed crowd utterly entranced. As she strutted out onto a staircase backdrop, flanked by her fierce backing dancers and a dazzling giant disco ball visual, it was clear that this was an act not to be missed – especially when she launched into her show-stopping rendition of Tame Impala's 'Dracula' remix.
Getting straight down to business, JENNIE commanded the stage with her signature charm, asking the Spanish crowd, "How we all doing, Madrid? I know you know this song!" The viral 'Dracula' collaboration, released in February, has been generating plenty of buzz, including a notable lip-sync performance video by Bryan Cranston, the actor behind the iconic 'Breaking Bad' series. For those who might have missed it, 'Dracula' is featured on Tame Impala’s latest album, 'Deadbeat', and JENNIE's remix has undoubtedly added an extra layer of magic to the original.
The excitement didn't stop there – JENNIE also took advantage of her Mad Cool platform to unveil brand new material. She treated fans to her unreleased track 'Heaven', which she'd previously showcased at Poland's Open'er Festival the previous week, and another new song, 'Little Less', which saw her inviting her band on stage for a special performance.
The setlist was a love letter to her loyal fanbase, featuring some of her most beloved tracks from 2025's solo album 'Ruby', including 'Start A War', 'Like Jennie', and 'Love Hangover'. Her collaboration with The Weeknd, 'One Of The Girls', also got its well-deserved spotlight. JENNIE's connection with the international audience was palpable throughout her performance, as she effortlessly navigated conversations in Spanish with her Madrid fans.
Mad Cool 2026 is living up to its name, boasting an incredible line-up that continues on Friday, July 10th, with performances from Kings Of Leon, Halsey, Pixies, and Twenty One Pilots. The festival's epic journey so far has included a memorable 'epic set' by Foo Fighters on Wednesday, July 8th, which paid heartfelt tribute to their legacy.
