That’s what surprised me. Unless they thought they had someone else lined up? But even so, bizarre. Built all that hype for nothing 😕 I’m still considering this over Download, mind you. 

Maybe the story about Nova Rock boss going to LP's show in London and paying extra money to get them to Nova Rock and not to play RAR/RIP could be truth.

 

From LP live:

 

"This is interesting because the NovaRock promoter was at the London show and the rumor has been that NovaRock paid exclusively to get LP and for LP to not play at Rock am Ring/Rock im Park.

 

But the tour was changed according to that one article about a month ago; wonder what they dropped."

Certainly sounds most likely. I can’t see a scenario in which Rock am Ring/im Park didn’t approach LP initially

The LP story is simple as told by RaR/RiP CEO in the interview - they preferred doing own shows vs. festival. 5 sold out German stadiums speak for itself.

I don't believe in another festival paying extra money to prevent an artist playing a festival in a different country. It doesn't make sense, you just go for an exclusivity, e.g. ST and BMTH here. Just my 2c...

Is there any word of who is on what stage at this point?

BMTH, Prodigy and Biffy on the Friday looks great but I feel like they may clash.
