it is worth persuing - i mean if a festival sells tickets saying band xxx are playing and then they are replaced by the granny ukelele and washboard band I would have though you had grounds to complain.

Not the case here though so is irrelevant.

then going to try charge back or section 75 just for fun on the credit card see what happens ?????

How much was each ticket face value?
As anything less  than £100 & there is no S75. Chargeback odds on as soon as you say event is still going ahead they will not even do anything. As only option is non receipt.

TBH. Doing anything before the date of event without proof event is not going ahead is destined to be refused anyway. We would get a serious kick up the backside & retraining for doing anything like that.

As it stands they are looking for a replacement headliner to fill the biggest void possible…
I mean really who could replace the Foo fighters ? One of the biggest most successful bands on the planet …

The tickets individually are just under £70 with fees so yep under £100 per item

Presumably they'll fill the void with another act.  You can then choose whether to go or not.

If I end up not being able to get my money back I may as well turn up I’ll be in Lisbon anyway

Don't go then. Choice is yours. I've always found artists of all genres to be better when seen live. No point in going through life with a negative attitude either.

It says here you are going to be able to request a refund, they've just not announced the dates or procedures to do so yet.
