Just noticed that the Boomer Fest web site was (slightly) updated with a site map (too small to read, at least for my eyes) and the announcement that tickets will now go on sale in December. No announcement of which artists will appear.
Just looked...you're right- it is a small update, they just keep dragging it out don't they!?! Looks like the site is near Wrecked at the Reef.

After the announcement last September a large event called "Boomers Day Fest" to be held in Puerto Penasco for late April and early May, with a professional organization of international stature, has disclosed that the festival was postponed until next September, after the grounds that only the organizers know, that decision was reached.
In an interview with Héctor Vázquez del Mercado, President of the Convention and Visitors Bureau this port, said that after the press conference announcing the festival and the events that this brings, such as concerts of renowned bands , Boomers Day organizers have not made contact with the OCV as expected to keep the agency informed of the progress of the event.
Weeks ago he received a letter and an email where organizers reported on the decision to postpone the event for September, but gave no details of why that decision, therefore they replied that it was important that this information be disclosed to based hotels and companies that joined the event to inform these customers and thus have not blocked or reserved rooms for the dates that were agreed at the outset (29 and 30 April and 1 to May 5), although this aspect does not hurt any hotel not met because of reservations for those dates, Vazquez del Mercado said.
Something asked festival organizers to mention was that they had more serious with the event and its organization because little has been heard about it, not even known of program updates or broadcast advertising and AFAIK, no in Mexico or the United States, he said.
By the OCV has not invested money to the festival, only supported them and open spaces and to all those who come to Peñasco to invest your money, and organizational aspects of the event and information is a matter of who organized.
It emerged recently that the organizers walked in the state of Arizona for support in promotions for the event, but truth is that in out no longer knows more detail how little information is known.
"Boomers Day", a big event with great unknowns
The local economic benefit of the event promoters claimed could reach $ 49 million over the five days of the festival. This figure was obtained with a conservative projection in which each of the 41,000 attendees expected (calculated on the sale of 65% of the 63,000 paid admissions, which indicate some 70,000 potential customers) will spend an average of $ 300 per day. Boomers Fest would employ about 2000 residents Peñasco during the festival. The project would also include the installation of a permanent infrastructure to create the basis for an annual event.
But the fact is that the event date information not disclosed or the official website of the festival and the pages that have social networks to promote their events, it also seems that the event never announced, because there are no records that give rise to believe at least some of the seriousness of the promoters, leaving only the briefing notes of the media in this city to find information online.
Even the day of the event staff of the press conference received emails from the media to bring progress bulletins, which never happened.
Even in the official pages of artists that were announced would take place during the week of festivities, as Carlos Santana, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, among others, there are signs, even small, about a possible presentation in Puerto Peñasco, or for the month of May and by September, it should be noted that the dates of concerts of famous artists are announced many months in advance, which leads to believe nothing of what organizers say, and have even given comments from local businesses who say Americans asked cash for holding the event, raising suspicions of fraud by the organizers.
It will be important that the sponsoring company organizing the event and expose reasons for the change of date and disclosed because of the much secrecy to the event, and in fact if the festival is not only the highest circulation in the United States but in this destination located so that no misunderstanding or disbelief among the population.
