The 2018 Mission Concert is all set to go - although at this stage the hosts are not saying when or who will take the big stage.
But those concert ingredients are not far away, with the date of the concert set to be first to make the news followed by the artist announcement.
That was, according to the Mission Estate crew, "so close" with the official line being "we will be announcing the announcement date very soon".
Mission chief executive Peter Holley was not about to give anything away at this stage, except to say it was likely to be "a couple of weeks away".
The timing was now effectively in the hands of the management and performer, and on that front Mr Holley said Sport and Entertainment's event director Garry Craft was "working hard" on getting the signatures sorted.
