Since there has been Jam Headliners for years, classic rock headliners, newer band headliners (like Arcade Fire and KOL), and now rap headliners, it would be really nice to get one EDM headliner. At least, I would be really all about it.

There is really only one EDM act that could hold down a headliner or even What stage LN spot though and I think we all know who that is and that it's not happening..

Just a question, but will Inforoo implode and cease to exist for 2-3 years if and when Radiohead actually returns to the farm????? I do love the Radiohead/Daft Punk months on Inforoo!

Deadmau5 could probably hold down a LN What at this point.
Rule #1 of Bonnaroo pre-lineup: That headliner you really want to be there isn't going to be there
Not true! in bonnaroo 2009 all sunday on the main stage they were playing stevie wonder songs all day on sunday! My buddy and I said right there and then that stevie wonder will be a Bonnaroo headliner next year, and sure enough! he was!

Rather than EDM, I more mean any electronic act. Something like Depeche Mode or Bjork or Pet Shop Boys, something like that would be great.

I don't think any of those could hold down an unopposed headlining spot. Bjork, maybe a LN What, but they all seem like Which Stage acts to me, with Depeche or Bjork doing a late night there.
Alright, here is why I would really love to see (though I doubt it's possible)
Black Sabbath - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Furthur - The Killers - Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds - The Raconteurs
Friday - The Raconteurs -> Black Sabbath Saturday - The Killers -> Red Hot Chili Peppers Sunday: Dave & Tim -> Furthur
I don't know what to do with this.
I would encourage him to write this down on a piece of paper, then have his father rip it to pieces and throw it in the fireplace. After which, a strong wind will pick up the pieces and make them fly out the chimney and land in the hands of a lady that lives on a cloud. Then Mary Poppins will put the pieces back together and visit his house and grant his wish by pulling the lineup out of her carpet bag.
Sunday night is always full of naps. At least Furthur plays songs that I might have heard before.
And I guess I only include RHCP because they seem like a likely headliner. I guess if I was doing my complete preferences, I'd replace them with Radiohead.
The only people i can consider being an EDM headliner would be: Daft Punk, Deadmau5, Tiesto, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Skrillex, & possibly Justice. Only the first 2 listed i can imagine making the top 4 HL spot.

Then I'd say the others aren't headliners. They fit Tiesto, Bassnectar, and Pretty Lights in tents in the past few years, and they haven't gotten that much bigger. Deadmau5 was in a tent, but he has gotten a lot bigger. Skrillex would definitely be in a tent. Justice is probably borderline, but I'd side with tent.

Chems are probably bigger than Tiesto & Deadmau5 at Bonnaroo. They headline most major electronic festivals and have played the main stage at Coachella (both slots that Tiesto plays).
Deadmau5, Tiesto, Bassnectar, and Pretty Lights all got tents when they played. Deadmau5 has gotten somewhat bigger, but I could only ever see him on Which and that's kind of a stretch. Skrillex and Justice would both be tents, as I don't see them being bigger than the previous listed.
Friday = What stage: Cage the Elephant/Foo Fighters Which Stage late night: Massive Attack or Portishead Saturday = Which: Foster the People (so I can get a good spot at What) What: Radiohead/Daft Punk Sunday = Which: The Shins What: Further
What it'll probably wind up being:
Friday: What Stage: Phoenix/The Shins Which Stage (late night): Skrillex or Kid Cudi Saturday: Which Stage: The Raconteurs What Stage: Neil Diamond/Red Hot Chili Peppers Sunday: Which Stage: Foster the People (or Florence + The Machine?) What Stage: DMB/Phish/MMJ/or WSP
