I'm super biased and don't want to spend too much brain power on Miley, but I feel like she's lost a lot of goodwill in the last few years. Her releases have been critically panned and not charting very well. When your highest charting track is a parody from a TV show....that's not a great sign. Especially as her episode of Black Mirror is widely considered to be the worst one in the series.
Not to say that she doesn't still have some draw and influence, but public perception of her isn't great right now....which I think excludes her from taking up a high slot on the poster. HL/sub/second line/whatever.
I could see Miley headlining festivals next year. If not Coachella, maybe Bonnaroo, but I could see them capitalizing on her comeback with guests like Mark Ronson. Could work in an Old Town Road segment for some main stage treatment too. I think she’s just as much of a possibility as Rihanna or whatever.
Edit: suppose she could potentially sub as well, but could just as easily work the bump
Bonnaroo and Lolla would do it because they need multiple “headliners”. Lolla has 8 slots to fill, who else plays on the Thursday?

Yeah I don’t really have some strong opinion about it. Not sure how popular she is at the moment thing. Just looked like her Glastonbury set went well and that her new show is geared for festivals. Could definitely see her being a replacement or filling the need if necessary since her name seems like it would hit with the current demo. Think she’s at least relevant enough to be in the pool for possible 2020 candidates.

Sooooooo. Does Bon Iver finally return to headline? I wasn't super involved in the 2017 discussions but from what I recall people were semi-surprised he subbed for the second time.
Does he make the jump this year? I feel like he's not the best pick in a sales slump and I personally don't care for his music, but I'm curious what the community thinks.

I think it’s far more likely he doesn’t play at all.

Arcade Fire seem really active on social media again for not being on tour and 3 years removed from their flop. I’d mark them down in the RHCP back up slot if they announce an album for next year.
In unrelated yet brighter news, the Blink-182 and Wayne tour seemingly blew up on take off.
Go on...
Apparently Wayne stormed off stage 4 songs in to their 2nd date and declaring that "these aren't my fans" and that it would be his last show of the tour. No solid video yet, but most of our cities will be spared of this atrocity.

Naw, wouldnt headline and this time would seeming end up being a booking that shocks on the poster. Only place to go is down in billing. He can just headline his own fest or smaller ones and it wouldnt be that big of a deal.

Bon Iver has upgraded to playing the Chase Center (SF's new arena); as far as I know it's the first time he's done arenas. He's not going down in billing. (But this is also why he won't be booked again in the near future.)

I'm with everyone. I doubt he gets booked again, purely because I don't think there's any chance he'd take a demotion. But the jump to headliner.....unlikely. Especially given GVs need to move tix.

He has played large venues before. Done the Hollywood Bowl twice and sold em out. Probably more about money being offered than venue choice. And you can “peak” and either sustain name notoriety or go down.
If - big, big, massive Godzilla-sized - Bon Iver were to headline anytime soon, it would be because somebody else dropped out and they would get Blur/Stone Roses treatment with a bunch of counter-programming up against them.
Also, hello, I'm Dan and I'm finally migrating over from the Coachella board.

What realistic 3rd headliner could save a top line of Justin Timberlake - Travis Scott - ???
Save it for people on the board? I think that would be pretty well received by the general attendee. Insert popular female act like Rihanna, Lorde etc. and the masses would be very pleased. Most of the headliners we want here are unrealistic.

Yeah I meant for the people on the board. I also think that would be well received in general.
