Solution 2:

Consider imminent:

ready to take place : happening soon
// … systems engineers have become rather blasé about the imminent liftoff.

(source: Merriam-Webster)

To my surprise, the first ten example sentences listed in the Oxford Dictionaries are about threats; I'm quite sure it can be used in a neutral way as well, as the Merriam-Webster example shows.

Solution 3:

imminent was the first word to come to mind, but impending will also work perfectly:

occurring or likely to occur soon
