Why are you worried?!?!?! Arcade Fire seem like a likely choice for headliners this year. It is an interesting year for headliners. Ashley Capps who helps manage Bonnaroo said that this was a year in which there is no shortage of headliners, unlike last year. So lets take a look:
Active Headliners in 2011
Portishead (Album 2011; Headlining Benicassim & ATP while supposedly not touring until the fall in the US)
The Strokes (Album 2011; Headlining Benicassim)
Beastie Boys (Album 2011; Big comeback after MCA cancer scare)
Arcade Fire (Tour for Suburbs; Supposedly headlining Coachella)
Belle and Sebastian (Tour for Write About Love; Headlining Primavera)
Kanye West (Tour for MBDTF)
Coldplay (Album 2011; Headlining Rock am Ring & Rock im Park)
REM (Album 2011)
Semi-Plausible Headliners
Radiohead (Album and Tour 2011)
The White Stripes (Album 2011?!; Tour?!)
Daft Punk (Touring?!?! We know no Tron tour)
Soundgarden (Touring?! Played Conan but little is known)
Pearl Jam (Anniversary year; Recently stated live that they wouldn't be seen for a very long time)
The Flaming Lips (Playing Primavera)
Bjork (Album 2011?!)
Beck (Album 2011?!)
Pulp (Tour 2011; Headlining Primavera)

I also could see Cut Copy headlining. Who knows, they are very popular right now and will be so even more after their new album. Sasquatch likes to go out on a limb and give individuals/bands the chance to headline for the first time in the US.

They aren't even close to being headlining material.

I said that about Ween, Ben Harper, KoL, and a lot of other bands that have headlined before. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if they headlined.

Cut Copy's not even close to close. I don't know if they'd be sub-headline material. Sasquatch might be known for non-trad headliners, but Cut Copy won't sell any tickets on their own, unlike FF.
Not a comment on quality, just business.
I'm worried because every festival in the nation thinks AF is going to headline for them. Sasquatch has an advantage because of Canadian roots, but Coachella thinks it has an advantage because they had their "breakout" performance there.
I'm not saying they can't do more than one or two or three, but they can't do them all, and Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lolla have more money than Sasquatch.
But you're right that there are a whole lot of really good bands that could headline. I think B&S, Strokes, REM or Beasties are big possibilities - but I won't stop hoping for White Stripes, Radiohead (not damn likely, I know). Modest Mouse wouldn't surprise/disappoint me either.
I'm glad we have the boring headliner out of the way, here's to hoping the next three will be better.

Yeah I'm really pulling for a portishead headlining set.
Great list andimac, most of them are unrealistic but it's nice to have it in a list I guess
but yeah cut copy isn't headlining

"Thanks everyone for posting your ipod artists list."
Mine isn't from my iPod, you might have noticed is wasn't alphabetized! 
But yeah, most of the artists I'd like to see this year *are* on my iPod, after all! Let's see, this is the "wish list" thread, right?
Agreed, Cut Copy isn't quite headliner material.
Hadn't considered Portishead, that would be pretty nice.
I won't be hoping for White Stripes or anything Jack-related, because I am apparently one of the 1% who don't like them! LOL... But if they are there, I will go see them just because.

But... I WAS!! LOL!
Speaking of people who were born out of Satan's ass, is there any chance Brian Jonestown Massacre would ever play a festival? Have they played festivals in the past? I'd love to see them, especially if they did the material from their last two CDs.

I wish the power of the Sasquatch could bring back Death From Above 1979 and The Unicorns, but I know it just can't happen.

Maybe an Islands set, though? They're a pretty good live band when Nick D. isn't bitching out too hard.
When I saw Islands at the Hawthorne Theater, the sound was so bad he stormed off stage and the band vamped the opening of 'Whalebone' for like ten minutes before he got his shit together. I can't say I blame him, the sound at the Hawthorne is only marginally better than listening through a tin can with a string attached to it. But come on.

Whatever we can get. I can't stand the guy but I love his music.
The Human Highway record is probably my favorite thing he's done.
