What with many of the summer's biggest festivals, including Coachella, Big Day Out, Governer's Ball, and Firefly all introducing their lineups in the past few weeks, as well as the announcement that ACL's would be coming soon, it only seemed appropriate to make a list of the top 10 people that I would love to headline at ACL.
10. The Black Keys
I actually was pretty surprised that they didn't play last year. But there's still a chance for this year!
9. Interpol
It would be a pretty awesome way to celebrate their new album.
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hands-down one of the greatest live bands around. I think it's time for them to come back around.
7. Green Day
Honestly, I don't know why this has never happened before. Green Day puts on an amazing show and I would love to see them live.
6. Biffy Clyro
Again, I don't know why this hasn't happened before. But it would be a great show.
5. Lorde
This little rising star would be a perfect end to one of the thrilling days of the festival.
4. The Strokes
It's been four years since the last time they played ACL - I think it's time for them to come around again.
3. Paul McCartney
This may be a bit of an unreachable idea, but need I explain myself further? It's Paul McCartney. It would be incredible.
2. Arctic Monkeys
1. Arcade Fire
There's no doubt that Arcade Fire is one of the greatest live bands alive today, and with their new album out, I'm sure I'm not the only one praying that they will headline this year.

P.S. As far as smaller acts go: Janelle Monae (please?), Miles Kane, Tame Impala, CHVRCHES, Peace (again, please?), Wavves, Foxygen, Diamond Youth, Temples, PHOX, and Lily & Madeleine would all be greatly appreciated.

2. Arctic Monkeys
Yes, I know that they played last year, but seeing them return as headliners would be absolutely incredible. Apart from just being a great live band, a longer set would allow for more of their older classics (such as When the Sun Goes Down, Mardy Bum, A Certain Romance, and 505) alongside their new songs, which their hardcore fans would greatly appreciate hearing.
