addieStandard operating practice would just be to move everyone else up a slot, and book some ‘up and coming’ band to fill the very early slot that’s left vacant. Glastonbury managed to shuffle people between days when they lost their headliners a few years ago, depends who’s free and who’s got other bookings.
