One of the headliners has pulled out of Lake Cowichan91裸聊视频檚 Sunfest country music festival, and some ticketholders may be seeking refunds.

Currington was set to play Day 2 of the event, the same night as Darius Rucker and Dallas Smith.

Currington will be replaced with Canadian rock n91裸聊视频� roll legend Randy Bachman, a move many on social media aren91裸聊视频檛 happy about.

91裸聊视频淚 know stuff happens, but we91裸聊视频檝e paid money to come to a country [festival] why not replace with a country artist! Not the best call Sunfest!91裸聊视频� wrote Tiersa Rae on Sunfest Country91裸聊视频檚 Facebook page in response to the announcement.

91裸聊视频淭his is like going for ice cream and finding out it melted and your getting a popsicle instead,91裸聊视频� wrote Ryan Dorman.

Others were a little more understanding:

91裸聊视频淲hen artists cancel at the last minute it91裸聊视频檚 tough to find replacements, not the festivals fault. Randy Bachman is a Canadian Legend, and will perform Canadian Classic songs, so that91裸聊视频檚 a great opportunity to hear a legend live. Good job Sunfest!91裸聊视频� added Kevin Warren.

Many in the comments suggested bringing other artists from the Lake Night Stage but Sunfest says the artists playing that stage are there for a reason: 91裸聊视频淭he artists playing the lake night stage want to play the closing party act. They are there to keep the party going.91裸聊视频�

Some are asking Sunfest for refunds to their tickets.

91裸聊视频淔or those that bought Friday night only tickets, we will work with them on refunds or moving their tickets to other dates,91裸聊视频� said Sunfest spokesperson Mike Hann. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a challenging world at the moment, with travel delays and border restrictions hampering plans for many international engagements. Unfortunately, due to the latter Billy91裸聊视频檚 Canadian dates have had to be cancelled.91裸聊视频�

Hann went on to say booking headline level artists last minute is also a big challenge, 91裸聊视频渢hat91裸聊视频檚 why we are extremely excited that it worked out to have a music legend such as Randy Bachman play our stage on Friday July 29. Over the years we have heard many of our Sunfest mainstage artists cover Randy91裸聊视频檚 songs so we know that people are going to be ecstatic to hear the real thing live at Sunfest. It will be a nostalgic reminder of the early days of Sunfest 20+ years ago.91裸聊视频�
