Avicii is headlining fests this year, but I don't think he'll still be this big in 2017. I like him a lot, but I think he's lightening in a bottle.

WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S ALL OVER!

Let the record reflect, I said this after Levels, which is "a banger", and before Wake Me Up, which is "hot trash". 100% correct.

Hard to say because they've only put out one real album, but I see them following a similar path to Cage the Elephant.

Considering that we can't even get a consensus as to who qualified as a headliner at previous Bonnaroos, I'm not sure that we'll even be able to acknowledge if there are correct guesses.

But to play along:

Lumineers
Kacey Musgraves
Ellie Goulding
Florence + The Machine

I can definitely see Chvrches moving up, especially if they make a big third album and make their live show a little more interesting.

Has anyone said Childish Gambino yet? I get the feeling this new album is gonna make him blow up to an arena level artist. Same with Miguel.

Also maybe in like 5 years Christine & The Queens will have a big enough following in the US to get either headliner or pre-headliner status.

Only one that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned is Jungle. They have an accessible sound, tight show, awesome music videos, and I think they're already close to pre-headliner level in the U.K. All with only 1 album out. If their next couple catch on in the US I think they could headline.

The best answers are Haim and Anderson Paak though.
