- Several users wondered which rap acts are headline-capable right now and pointed to legacy acts or big crossover names as the most likely options.
- Fan suggestions for possible rap headliners included Baby Keem and Childish Gambino, while others argued the fest may skip a rap headliner altogether and focus on rock/alt or pop acts.
- Other names tossed around: Clipse, JID, Freddie Gibbs, and Travis Scott–adjacent-tier artists (though many commenters felt those acts aren’t likely to headline).
- One common thread: if Cole is focusing on a solo tour around a ‘retirement’ album, a festival slot might not fit his plans this year.
