I'm not a promoter so I don't how the best way to put on events but wouldn't you want to announce the full line up as early as possible to hopefully get a lot of ticket sales early on so you kind of know how much money the event will make? By not releasing the line up, you still get some of the people that will buy tickets no matter what, but wouldn't you still get those people if you did announce the whole line up? The long absence of info doesn't make sense to me, but maybe that's why I'm not a promoter  |
The easiest answer is that they don't have the lineup ready yet. Even if they have agreements with the main acts there is a lot of politics w/r/t how they're getting billed on fliers, stages/timeslots, etc. This can take time to work out. Admittedly, I have no idea if thats what's going on here, but those are the reasons that were given to me when skills was taking its sweet time with a lineup for one of their shows a while back.
Also, delaying the lineup announcement works really well for getting a bunch of free promo on forums cause everyone bumps the thread looking for new lineup info, lol.
