If you never go before
then please look at my post above, it is a nice information to you!!

before you posted...nobody else mentioned a date, except me. Even that I took from another forum's thread...unconfirmed. No source...

is there any organizers to call to confirm the date?

I don't know about that
but last year I saw 1 of the LYN member help to distribute the fan...

he is yaya1899...... you can try ask him via PM...

Chill, bro. Don't shoot other people furiously.
The reason they gave you two dates (12 and 19 July) is because there are two celebrations (the first will be in KL while the second one will be in Penang).
Hence the information is correct. The only problem is that you didn't specifically ask about the location for both dates.

Anyway, KL's Bon Odori taikai falls on July 12th (Saturday) this year according to The Japan Club of Malaysia's website.
The location will be Stadium Panasonic Sports Complex. Click here for map

第３２回盆踊り大会開催ご案内
開催日：７月１２日（土）、５PM開門

マレーシアの熱い夜をぜひご期待ください！

As for the Penang one, no news about it is posted on the JCKL website yet.
But it's safe to assume that it falls on the Saturday after which is July 19th.
Location will most probably be at Penang Esplanade field.

Tips:
Anyway, the easiest way I use to predict Bon Odori every year is to check and see which two Saturdays are the nearest to 15th July. The KL's one will be held on the first Saturday while the Penang's one will be on the second.

The Japanese-based Bon Odori carnival will be held on 19 July, at the Matsushita Sports Complex in Section 24, Shah Alam. This is the fifth year running that the event is hosted by the state.
