Dark Lord Day 2017 is scheduled for May 13, 2017. The festival was moved back two weeks, from the usual last weekend in April, in hopes of better weather. The date was announced on October 13, 2016.

Also changed, was the announcement that those who miss their Group sales time would not be able to collect their bottles during later Group times (as was the case in previous years), but would instead have to wait until after Group E at 7:00 pm to collect their bottles.
