Byron Bay Bluesfest 2012

There's been rumors that DMB may appear at every Bluesfest since 2007, but this year, it's actually looking good.
First announcement should be made "very soon", but the official Bluesfest twitter sent out the following tweets yesterday, including a retweet of my desperate plea...surely they wouldn't do this if it wasnt true.

RT @fransecksca: @BluesfestByron Have hrd rumours Dave Matthews might B playing nxt year... Is ths tru?! < shhhh ! not long 2 wait now !

RT @rivergumrob: @BluesfestByron how long til the lineup? U're killing us! DMB? < 2nd DMB rumour 2day .... hmmm?? not long 2 wait now evry1

RT @jayrox002: @bluesfestbyron put me out of my misery. Is DMB any chance for 2012?? #longtimebetweendrinks <nuttha DMB rumer .. hmmmm !!!??

So? DMB to Australia around Easter of 2012?

    Hi Bluesfest watchers,

    I found your thread through google and will be watching very closely. Saw DMB in Sydney a few years ago, but am absolutely desperate for another fix of them. Probably won't go to Bluesfest but will keep everything crossed for some side-shows. Bit sick of waiting for the BB line up though. Thanks for the info.

    Would love a DMB appearance at Bluesfest 2012. Just got the email. What are the chances of some DMB?

    The date to mark in your calendar is Thursday 3rd November.
    This means it is only days until we lift the lid on our first round of artists coming to share their musical genius with us at Bluesfest.
    Our first announcement will include a number of superb headlining artists and it will only be the beginning of an exquisite journey ahead as a second magical announcement will be following just a couple of weeks after the first!

    The (very) special day to mark in the calendar is Tuesday 17th of January. It's time to give full measure to what Bluesfest 2012 is all about!

    You may think we have played all our cards but there are major aces yet to be revealed!

    Get ready, as we are going all out with the 4th announcement and it is the biggest one yet, with around 30+ artists to be announced, including major headliners.

    We have a wise old saying at our house which we use when something doesn't go quite right, and this seems to be the perfect moment for it.
