A Reddit user sparked fresh buzz with their 2025 ACL Festival headliner predictions, naming Green Day, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Post Malone, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Charli XCX, Mac DeMarco, and Doechii. They tagged Mac DeMarco and Charli XCX as long shots—“Hail Mary” picks echoing last year’s partial success.
The festival crowd quickly weighed in:
- Scheduling doubts: RÜFÜS DU SOL has an Austin show scheduled on April 26, 2025, at Q2 Stadium, which may clash with ACL’s October dates. Charli XCX’s busy touring/release cycle this year also raised questions about her availability.
- Wishlist additions: Fans threw out names like Zedd, Nine Inch Nails, Clairo, My Chemical Romance, Benson Boone, Haim, and a hopeful nod to Childish Gambino.
- Lineup limits: Most agreed ACL sticks to about six headliners, with Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, and Green Day getting strong support as likely locks.
This chatter highlights both the community’s excitement and the logistical hurdles in nailing down official ACL 2025 headliners. For now, the lineup remains speculative, but these fan-fueled predictions provide a tantalizing look at potential festival must-sees. Keep your eyes peeled for official announcements.
