Not really - If you got a new job, only to find upon starting, that they had given the job you accepted to someone else, and you were now still welcome to have a job there, but it would be making the tea - would you be happy? especially if you had just left a perfectly good job to start it?
A contract is a contract - the promoter is way out of fucking line

but they offered machine head more money and a higher slot on the other stage to stay, machine head turned that down saying they would not play ‘the second stage’ even though the whole point is that the two stages are kinda equal

Given that Avenged Sevenfold are headlining the second stage and Metallica are headlining the main stage - I’d say the stages are far from equal

yeah but the way its set up is so everyone gets to see both stages, so at the end of the day what does it matter which one your on?

I can understand their grievance at the promoter for not honouring what was agreed. They turned down Download to play Sonisphere (more than likely as part of a contractual agreement that the band couldn’t play both). Only for them to go and stick a band above them (who also played Download)
I’m not saying they are right to pull out as they were one of the first bands to be announced and I’d be pretty pissed if I’d have bought tickets to see em… only for them to pull out - but the promoters have fucked up.

That happened to me in WHSmith. I applied for a job on the top floor on books, only to be demoted to shop floor on the bloody till when i started. I was not happy.
