Pandemonium Rocks, a highly anticipated Australian music festival, has sparked fury among ticket holders after announcing significant lineup changes just a week before the event's kickoff. The festival revealed that six major acts, including headliners Placebo and Deep Purple, would no longer be performing. Despite this setback, seven acts, including Blondie, Alice Cooper, and The Psychedelic Furs, remain on the lineup.

The news follows weeks of speculation about the festival's fate, with reports suggesting it had been cancelled. Organisers responded by confirming the event would proceed but with a reduced offering, consolidating from two stages to one. However, they did not disclose which artists would still perform, leaving fans anxious.

The announcement of lineup alterations without offering full refunds has left many attendees furious, expressing their frustrations on social media. While organisers have offered options such as complimentary tickets for friends, partial refunds, or exclusive merchandise, discontent remains palpable among fans.

Despite the challenges, Pandemonium organisers remain determined to deliver a memorable experience, assuring attendees that the festival will proceed as planned across four dates in April.
