Monsuir Ry has covered almost everything that I can think of from my limited experience. Especially when it comes to offering the acts a place to stay if they're from out of town, because they will find it awkward to ask.
Just generally enjoy it and don't be scared to accept any help if it's offered. From my experiences so far, I find the key has been aggressive promotion. If you can create a catchy poster featuring the right words, then it's more persuasive than just saying "this band are great so come and see them".
I'm sure Maxi will have some more meaningful insights and I'll reiterate what he says about how it's good to see more people taking an active interest in putting on gigs from time to time. Especially if it's more diverse stuff you're aiming to expose.
Good luck.
