Why? They got McCartney, if they want The Stones, they will get them.
McCartney was a Beatle. Obviously he'd be welcome at pretty much any festival, a lot of the indie crowd and such is especially in love with the Beatles. Roger Waters fit in at Coachella because of Pink Floyd, arguably the biggest influence on the Coachella sound.
I'm not sure how receptive the typically Coachella-goer would be to the Rolling Stones. I feel like outside of a select few classic rock acts (McCartney, Waters, Stevie Wonder, the Who, and Neil Young) that they would rather go for more current bands.

i feel like The Rolling Stones could go either way, easily. and the fact that Coachella already got Paul might influence 'roo to go after one of the other remaining British Invaders rather than give Coachella the monopoly.
but if this really is The Stone's last tour it will probaly be long, so they could play also play 2012. Or play one this year and one the next year?
i could also see 'roo getting The Stones and Coach getting The Who next year.

Whatever happens, it's going to be a very interesting winter with all of these headliners supposedly available: The Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Radiohead, REM, Daft Punk, Roger Waters/David Gilmour, Furthur, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, etc.

here's why i've accepted that Outkast won't be at Bonnaroo this year:
Andre still has to drop his album, which he quite possibly won't do for some time, why compete with Big Boi? plus, Big Boi's album faced cosiderable delays and Andre's could as well.
then, they will want to give both solo albums some time in the spotlight before they go back to working on a new joint album. then of course comes the working on the new album.
it makes more sense that one of them would appear to promote their solo album than stage an Outkast comeback this coming summer.
i just don't see Outkast happening this year. it even makes more sense for 'roo to go Electronic LN (Daft Punk) rather than doing back-to-back Hip-Hop LN's.
if i was Capps, then i would be in negotiations for Roo 2012

^You're probably right, but a guy can hope.
^^Now, the top three lines of your lineup TOTALLY kick ass. I would change some of the middle to lower-tier acts from what you have, but I would be really pumped if the top three lines look like yours when it's announced. Also, for some reason I don't see Zach G at Roo next year, although that would be really awesome. He's gotten pretty big. Then again, it's not like Conan isn't really big.

50th anniversary/ possible last tour for the Stones + Bonnaroo's 10th anniversary so you know they're gonna want to go big = we can probably bet on The Rolling Stones at Bonnaroo 2011... right?
That will be the single greatest night of my life. hands down.
Seems like too much jam, but I'd love to see a lot of that. I feel that Furthur would headline over SCI, though. Muse/Neil Young/Furthur would be a great combo, though, in terms of my tastes.
After last night I could totally see Macca headlining 'roo what an awesome show he puts on. 3 hours and no break I feel he would do great with a longer set than he got at Coachella.

Ditto. I was doubtful that he could pull off a Roo headlining set, I mean, the man is 68 years old. But holy crap. Last night I was converted.

No prob. For me, "headliner material" all comes down to showmanship. You could make the best and most awesome music ever, which McCartney undoubtedly has, but if you don't have that umph in your live shows, then what's the point? Macca proved to me last night that he has what it takes to be a headliner, to hold a crowd's attention beyond his music. I need to see it to be convinced. (This is the same argument I use for U2)
