My only comeback, other than it's a real shame is, since the timing was crucial to your acceptance of the gig, it would (in hindsight) have been wise to inform them. In otherwords we accept this gig on the basis that our slot is 7 pm or later.
Multiple slot gigs are very prone to changes - in fact organisers often behave like teenagers in that they hate to positively commit to anyone, because a "better" band might phone up and ask to be included. Imagine for a second organising Live Aid or Woodstock! Bands get bumped earlier and earlier as you get nearer the gig. The last slot will be for the "best" band.
So what seems like wanky behaviour is probably nearer normal behaviour from my experience.
