That would've been pretty gutting if I was going.

Was considering buying a Sunday ticket for a top 3 of Metallica, Mastodon and Royal Blood so that's a bit naff.

Edit: Just read the reason for them pulling out. "Naff" was a bad way to put it.

This is the second time they have done this to me. Tossers.

[foolee]

Ghost are the replacement for anyone wondering!

[dentalplan]

I wonder if they'll just leave everyone in their normal slot and boost BMTH's crowd or if they'll stretch that bill. Ghost are cool nonetheless.

Clashfinder has the stage starting at 11 so my guesses it'll just start at 12 and everyone moves an hour later

eat a dick, this is an entirely justified reason.

[Gucci Piggy]

Heard The Cribs are replacing them.

Got one spare off your tallywhacker AYCE buffet? I've seen them twice and I'll see them again but I'm still disappointed.

These boys pull out of everything.

[justanothername]

I still think getting The Dillinger Escape Plan to replace them is a far better idea

If only your father(s) took the same stance.

Finally!!!!! I've been stopping myself from typing that ever since it was posted.

Glad someone hit it out of the park haha

Not bothered about Mastodon but if this means Ghost will clash completely with BMTH or Metallica thats awful booking....

Bollocks!

Just come back off holiday and seen this.Gutted.

Love the new album and was looking forward to seeing them again.

Also, how are Ghost a replacement? They were already playing.

[dentalplan]

'Cos now if you go to the Rock Stage when Mastodon were meant to be playing, you'll see Ghost instead.

Yeah, I got that bit.

Still a bump-up rather than a replacement.

[Yellow_Fellow]

They aren't mutually exclusive 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I don't believe they were ever called a replacement, just said they were filling the slot.

[rivalschools.price]

Let's not get too pedantic about whether they are filling the slot, a replacement or a bump-up.

The fact remains that a popular Acadamy-venue sized headliner for one of their stages has pulled out and they seemingly have made little effort to find someone of similar stature to play in that slot.

[mrtourette]

That's pretty standard, acts have pulled out with more than a month left to go before and not been replaced.

Filling the slot that Mastodon vacated. So they're replacing them.

Don't suppose it's that easy to get acts like that at short notice.

 

Mastodon are a bigger headliner for that stage than anyone expected so it's crazy to think that people would feel hard done by not having a similar sized band replace them.

[Gucci Piggy]

Not really sure but aren't Ghost near enough big enough to headline it anyway?
