    Things are definitely on a different schedule this year to previous.  The general trend does seem to be that the announcements get later year by year.

    Anything Pearl Jam related is notoriously the longest wait for announcements. Meanwhile DMB and Foo Fighters are announcing 90 shows a year every year with zero waiting.

    They've got to keep things interesting, where's the fun in being predictable, right?!

    But Ohana is not PJ. It's a different team.

    with zero rumors, hints, nothing at all, this year feels weird to me compared to the past. Just no excitement

    No it’s not. Mark Smith is PJ manager and he runs Ohana with Eddie. Live Nation is also involved but they are involved with everything.

    Maybe they have decided to take a year off....I can't make it this year, so my default FOMO is hoping that is the case...Why is my nephew getting married that weekend?  There were 51 other weekends available to him--This will have a negative effect on the caliber of gift he will be receiving...

    I'll take predictability of announcements any day for planning. As long as that doesn't extend to the setlists.

    I am now convinced that they will spend the next several days hyping the 10th anniversary festival on social media and only after that drop the lineup, so perhaps on Tuesday.

    Based on this I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 5/12/26. Either way it’s definitely not April.

    Yeah I'd agree - no need to get excited about any lineup announcement until after there's been some social media buzz.  Silence = the announcement is not imminent.

    My question is why the delay? There must be a formula from when dates are announced to when line up is announced? Every year is later with both.  If Jack White is playing it has nothing to do with his tour as all of his CA shows are sold out so no conflict there.  I can’t believe they are still “finalizing” bands. Just curious how they decide to keep making us wait longer? I already bought plane tickets and air bnb so I’m definitely going but I’m sure many are waiting for line up to pull trigger. I go to a lot of Reggae Rise up festivals and they are in like 7 cities now and they sell tickets one  year out (loyalty price) and those line ups are like clockwork.

    There could be all sorts of reasons, and only they would know the truth.  But it's likely one of 3 things:

    1. They can't announce as one of the headliners has some sort of exclusion clause in their contract, e.g. Jack White.  Even though his shows are sold out, there may be something legally in his contract that requires no other shows within a certain distance to go on sale for a defined period, so they're waiting for that to be over.

    2. They have a big artist lined up who hasn't announced their own tour yet, and they need to sync up to that.

    3. There's some last minute negotiations with artists who might be available.

    But honestly even these are just me guessing...
