[Weatherman]

just look at everyone who played at 2 or 3 pm in 2004. pick one, chances are you'll be right.

Home Town Hero!? Fuckin hope so....

[Nordboy]

bestie boys or coldplay are my guesses. Whatevs though, I just hope justice drops a really good new album and closes out one night on the main stage....

I'm torn between Howie Day, the Stills, Kinky, DJ Peretz, Sahara Hotnights, the Evens, Antibala Afrobeat Orchestra, !!!, and Section Quartet as the most likely headliner.

This is incredible if it is serious. A really good new album? They took how many years to release their SECOND album and it was terrible. Not to mention their "performance" on the main stage this year was a disaster. Starting 30 minutes late weekend one and playing the same 30 minutes of the same set they've played this whole tour still, leaving out most of their better songs? Weekend 2 was terrible as well, same set as the rest of the tour (probably pre recorded to go with their atrociously boring stage production and lighting) , shitty songs being played for 7+ minutes. Please, anybody but overrated terrible Justice.

LOL Nick being Nick again.

Their "performance" was a "disaster," "though."

LOL

thank god

[nyarlathotoats]

What if its My Morning Jacket?

[GuyInTucson]

I like My Morning Jacket so I would be all for it. Not sure how that happens though without a new album.

[nyarlathotoats]

Yeah, I think they're the beez knees as well, but, I think a lot of people would consider them a lazy booking.

Although looking at the Iheartradio lineup, could 2013 be the year where No Doubt are headliners?

[Pumpkinhead33]

A couple random guesses: Soundgarden, deadmau5, Queens of the Stone Age, Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins (unless its a partial reunion of some sort), Jack White.

[Bus McRider]

DJ Paris Hilton

[xuclarockerx]

Actually with the decent reception Oceania is getting I would say Smashing Pumpkins aren't totally out of the question.

[elegia]

DJ Paris Hilton

lol... She'll be totally over the DJ thing by next year!

[Mugwog]

A Thom Yorke project

[H_is_O]

"It's like me calling myself a doctor after reading WebMD twice." Dr. Samantha Ronson on DJ Paris Hilton.

[SmellyBath]

Please Dear God not the Beach Boys

[heart cooks brain]

the beach boys are not and should not headline fucking anything. what a travesty.

[captncrzy]

They won't. They couldn't even sell out a goddamn casino here.

[betao]

The Smashing Pumpkins took a decent while to sell out a 1500 person in my hometown. Doubt they'll headline

[SmellyBath]

or Paul McCartney performing anything close to the Frank Sinatra wannabe show he put on at the Grammy's last year. Kisses on the bottom can kiss my fucking bottom.

Paul McCartney slayed when he played Coachella.

As long as that question is "Who might headline the South Dakota State Fair?" then yes.

[Larry Farnsworth]

A couple random guesses: Soundgarden, deadmau5, Queens of the Stone Age, Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins (unless its a partial reunion of some sort), Jack White.

Several of these are decidedly non-shitty.

[SepaGroove]

No Doubt

[Rolwolf]

On monklish, some random anonymous nobody predicted a Yeah Yeah Yeahs & MIA dual-headliner night… Nonsense, but it made me wonder if we might soon see Sahara headliners listed on the top line along with the Main-stage headliner for some days. For example, Phoenix looks weak as a headliner on their own, but a top line that reads: Phoenix * Deadmau5 (in the dance tent) probably works.
