Keep cool, only examples where I was very disappointed to see them not because as a familiy man a festival is planned in detail concerning costs and time. First of all I'm there for the bands then for meeting old and new friends, drinking beer and having fun and a good time together.
Over the past years it's my impression cancelling is the new sport independent from the reason. I mentioned this in another thread concerning my family situation as well. So the best would be to announce NOTHING but that doesn't work... because of recruiting many fans as possible in spreading the word rapidly to promote the event.
But Oli, imagine you're a fan of a band you've never seen before or an artist would be playing once in a lifetime in Germany and got cancelled it is very very disappointing. And then cancellation comes like a domino effect with another one and another... so the current billing is distinctly not the first announced one and differs very much with bands that are none of the personal favorites and for them someone wouldn't dare for all the costs (food, travelling,...).
At least I know it's difficult to organize, respect to all of you promoters but nevertheless I take my right to be disappointed, that's all.
