Yup, all that is clear, I did however refer to your initial post, which 
I allow myself to quote to contextualise this:
"It's difficult to play yourself and organize a festival at the same 
time. That's one of the reasons I've decreased the number of artists 
from 8 to 6 on the festival".

That means (in a tongue-in-cheek way of putting it), if you'd refrain 
from the egotistical approach of having to be on the bill at all costs, 
more artists would be possible - improved value for the audience.
