I really don't have a plethora of ideas, but I'd like to see who y'all think are possibilities for headliners. Not supporting acts. Just headliners.

I know many wouldn't care for this but I bet they make a run at getting U2 on board. Maybe John Mayer since he dropped out this year with an illness. There's also been one big rock act to appeal to younger crowds these past few years (Foo, Arcade Fire) so I wouldn't be surprised to see something like The Killers or Kings of Leon or something of the like.

What say y'all?

Adele would draw crowds like the cows in Bombay.

I get the feeling that the Stones are about to do something. There were the rumors of Glastonbury and they just released their 50th anniversary logo. That would probably be the ultimate headliner.

Stones would almost have to be at night...seems like a big injustice to have them on in the afternoon...although it will never happen

Dennis D reunites with Styx.


Boston had a good crowd a few years back in BR. I believe that had the Phillipino lead singer.

I don't know if Adele would be good in an environment like Jazz Fest. I imagine going see her in some kind of theatre setting...

And I have a real good feeling Mumford and Sons are coming. The new album will be out and they didnt come this year. They also love New Orleans and the last time they went it was fricking PACKED

I think Mumford will depend on how well the album does. I'll be seeing Mumford and Dawes on August 1.
