But what is going wrong exactly?
I talked earlier to Armin about this. He said that they are not allowed to announce a gig before the local promoter that books him announces it himself. Which I can understand. But he agreed that often when gigs have been announced locally it still takes forever for them to be published on his own site. He said he would talk to "the guys at the office" about that. That was two months ago.
In the meantime nothing has changed. It seems the problem lies within the Armada backoffice. I hate to be a critic on this all the time but everything there seems to be targeted at releasing the umptieth 20 Trance Tunes compilation every week. The site, the forum and alike digital channels simply do not get the attention they should get. For example there's gonna be 5 more Armin Only's besides the ones in NL and Aussie. Why the hell aren't the dates announced yet? And what about the Amnesia schedule? They organize the whole thing themselves over there for crying out loud. Get those damn dates out in the open, people wanna go there and need to book their flights and their hotels. We don't wanna gamble, book some week and then end up getting stuffed with bloody Oakenfold. But what can we do? By the time Armada finally publishes the Amnesia schedule all the flights are 1000 euro and hotels ditto. And that doesn't go just for Amnesia, that goes for almost all his gigs.
For those of us who like to travel to see Armin abroad (like me and numerous other members here) that plain right sucks.
Btw I posted this unofficial list and bam within one day the official list is (though only partially) updated. Could be a coincidence of course
EDIT: It was brought to my attention that Armada itself is not responsible for publishing Armin's gig list but David Lewis Productions is. It's therefore not fair to blame Armada for the lack of information.
