Controversy-plagued Pandemonium Rocks music festival has left fans outraged over its latest announcement that ticketholders won't be given full refunds, following a major lineup change.
On Saturday it was announced that six acts have been scrapped from the Australian festival's upcoming shows, including international headliners Placebo and Deep Purple as well as US band Dead Kennedys.
The location of several festival dates have also been changed, while the festival announced last night that its original multi-stage layout had been condensed into one big stage.
General admission tickets have also been slashed from around $285 to $190, while VIP tickets have been reduced from $830 to $650.
On Monday, Pandemonium Rules announced on social media that despite the changes ticketholders could not claim a full refund.

Instead, they could select from receiving one of the following options: one complimentary GA ticket per full price ticket purchased, a partial refund of $70 (which is the difference between the initial price and the new ticket price), or an 'exclusive Pandemonium hoodie valued at $100'.
Ticketholders who fail to make a choice by April 12 will automatically receive the first option.
Outraged fans have since swarmed to social media to slam the festival for failing to provide a full refund option, demanding their money back and threating to contact the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission).
