Using our readers’ collective brainpower (and a little help from AI) we’ve rounded up guesses about who is going to appear on the ACL 2025 lineup.

The ACL 2025 festival lineup could drop any day now, but we may have already figured it out.

We asked our readers who they thought would be at the festival and they named 63 different bands + artists — here are a few that stood out.

In order of a descending amount of mentions: Post Malone, Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Green Day, Vampire Weekend, Charli xcx, DJO, and Olivia Rodrigo were all named. All of them appear to be possible except Lady Gaga, who will be overseas.

Here are a few more likely predictions that appear to be free during the festival:

  • Miley Cyrus
  • Lola Young
  • Shakira
  • Pearl Jam
  • Gracie Abrams
  • Bleachers
  • Clairo
  • Megan Moroney
  • Kesha
  • John Mayer
  • Radiohead
  • My Chemical Romance
  • Stevie Nicks

City Editor Figi here — my formal predictions are Vampire Weekend, Doechii, and MARINA.

We know one band will surely be there: Asleep at the Wheel, because they always perform the first set.
