Actually the early announcement is not because the line up is meant to be special, but more so because pretty much everything was confirmed early ..usually we end up waiting for a band or two that hum and hah ......for a few weeks but this year it just sort of fell into place nicely. People have always asked why we waited until January to announce the line up ..could they know as soon as possible as some people might want to buy tickets for wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, fathers, mothers, as Christmas presents .....or maybe purchase hotel rooms ......well seeing as we were ready , we said we would. If we had a few bands that dithered about we would not be announcing until January......K
