While an announcement date has not been settled, the movers and shakers behind the Mission Concert have their sights set on a major target to head the 2015 event.
Sport and Entertainment's Garry Craft said a fortnight ago he was still "waiting on some leads" and that nothing firm had
been finalised.
Mr Craft also said the promoters were talking with a couple of "interesting" acts.
Yesterday, he said the wheels were definitely turning, or as he put it, "there is certainly movement at the station and I am on the trail of a very hot artist".
He would not be drawn on who that hot artist was, and whether it was an individual or a band. There had been some speculation that the 2015 Mission Concert could feature on a tour by Paul Simon and Sting (who appeared at the Mission in 2011) but that appears to be all it is - speculation.
