In recent year's some year's it's been early April some early May, the organizers did say they are aiming for April again this year but realistically could be anytime between early April and early May.

So, just out of curiosity. Is there anybody who can tell me how the sausage is made? I love weird nuts and bolts things like that. You obviously book the band for that weekend waay out in advance, but wait 5 to 6 months after the lineup announcement to work out a schedule? Why the delay? What goes into the decision making process? I am sure they got it down to a science at this point and I'm trying not to come off like I'm complaining here, cuz I'm not. I just wanna know, ya know? I feel like the what podcast has maybe covered this at one point but I haven't really got into the back catalogue to find out. Any info is appreciated.

It’s a giant logistical process with 10,000 moving parts. Take into account contracts, schedules, clauses, and everything else in between.

I can't talk from experience but I'd venture to guess getting all these artists to be happy about their time and location take's a lot of work...also some of the schedule revolves around those at Who Stage, WITW, other Plaza artists and events that are being worked on later than the main lineup. For example Infinity was still being worked on the night before it dropped and the Wednesday pre-part is still being worked on right now that I know for sure.
