How do festivals manage multiple stages?

Many festivals and multi-act events, like the one featuring The Human League, Rudimental, and The Libertines, use multiple stages or areas. This allows them to isolate issues. If one stage or area is affected by weather or a technical problem, other parts of the event can often continue safely, as seen with the other Hitchin concerts still going ahead.
