The Derbyshire festival revealed its line-up yesterday evening with the Libertines, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Jamiroquai headlining in July.

In the tweet, sent out by Y Not?, Sheffield band The Sherlocks were also announced on the bill in the fourth tier of the lineup.

However, when the Sherlocks announced the news in a later tweet, they appeared to have swapped places with The Amazons on the third tier.

Bigger bands are usually placed higher up on the bill at festivals with the headliners given the top spot.

It is not clear who was responsible for the apparent Photoshop but the post has since been deleted from the band's Twitter feed.

The festival will return to Derbyshire this summer after it was abandoned last year due to safety concerns.
