Bonnaroo: Our Predictions

This year's Bonnaroo lineup is coming within the next 24 hours. The festival is announcing a month early this year, putting a dent into our plans to do a full-scale lineup prediction as with Coachella (wait 'til next year!). Still, we think we've done a pretty good job below with the headliners, subheadliners and top-billed undercard acts, many but not all of whom have leaked out already...

Headliners
Billy Joel
Deadmau5
Florence and the Machine
Kendrick Lamar
Lorde
Mumford & Sons
(...and we think the acts above and below just may join together to perform as the New Basement Tapes, perhaps with Bob Dylan himself)
My Morning Jacket
Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters

Top Undercard Acts
Alabama Shakes
alt-j
Bassnectar
Belle and Sebastian
Ben Harper and Innocent Criminals
Bleachers
Caribou
Charli XCX
Craig Ferguson (or Chad Smith and Will Ferrell)
D'Angelo (with the Roots?)
Death Cab for Cutie
Death from Above 1979 
Decemberists
Earth Wind & Fire
Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell (or Merle Haggard)
Flying Lotus
Future Islands
Hot Chip
Jenny Lewis
Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood
Modest Mouse
Ratatat
Refused
Run the Jewels
Rya Adams
St. Vincent
Sturgill Simpson
Tame Impala
The War on Drugs
TV on the Radio
Weezer
