A version of the poster shared on The Sherlocks' social media accounts mysteriously showed them in a higher position than the official graphic.
Image source, Y NotOrganisers of the Derbyshire festival told the BBC there was only one official version of the poster so the band must have altered it themselves.
After hours of merciless ribbing on social media, the band responded with a mocked up Glastonbury 2018 poster showing themselves as headliners.

A delighted cat owner was reunited with his pet after more than 200 days apart.
John Alexander lost Tigger last July, and every day since, he's spent wondering what happened to him and whether he'd get him back.
"I rang vets, the microchip company, created posters and knocked on people's doors to see if they knew anything," he said.
Image source, John AlexanderDespite his efforts, John was beginning to think he'd never see his pet again - but he kept his bowl and bed on the off-chance he'd return.
On Monday, he received a message from a vet in Sileby, Leicestershire - about 10 miles from his home - saying Tigger had been found and his chip revealed John was the owner.
John said he was overjoyed to see him again but it was difficult to take him back.
"A couple had adopted him and got quite close to him. I do feel for them because the lady was very attached."
