I heard Mickael Gelabale but I forgot to double check.
Official lineup will be out on the 15th of this month but I have heard tons of rumors of who will headline this year and if they are true it will be the biggest festival of the year. Here are some of the headlining rumors I have heard.
Coldplay
Radiohead
R.E.M
Pearl Jam
Wilco
The Raconteurs
Beck
Ben Harper
Jack Johnson
There are also some people spitting out Rage and Metallica. If Pearl Jam is on there im in for sure. Radiohead and Pj would make for the biggest fest in the US IMO.

Don't really care for Beck, and I've yet to listen to the Racounteurs.
But, the bands in bold would be a must see for me.
God damn you ATRAIN if this isn't true!!
Wow...if this is the case im definately in.
I bet tickets will be hard to come by though.
Every year there's a wishlist posted and every year 95% of it isn't true. The Rancanteurs are already playing Austin twice this month. They probably aren't coming back. Coldplay? Tickle me not interested. Wilco was there last year. Probably not coming this year as they are also playing a two night engagement at Stubbs. Radiohead is a pipedream. PJ might happen, but doubtful. R.E.M. was just in Austin and headlined the fest three(?) years ago. ACL is usually epic, but they can't seem to draw the big acts like some festivals out west. I hope they go after Daft Punk but they might not be touring right now.
Edit: On second thought, after seeing the break Radiohead has between August and September, it's a possibility.

Well Radiohead is touring so maybe possible and I could see PJ coming.
Go to Lollapalooza you will not regret it. Chicago is an incredible city, and the lineup this year is awesome
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine
Nine Inch Nails
Kayne
Wilco
The Raconteurs
Gnarls Barkley
Bloc Party
The Black Keys
Broken Social Scene
Lupe Fiasco
Brand New
Flogging Molly
plus like 75 more
I'll wait for the official lineup to get excited. This is such a ing tease.
Kermit is right, 95% of those damn rumors are hardly ever correct. Although, just because acts are playing in Austin already, doesn't mean they won't play at ACL. I've seen a few bands over the last three years play the Thursday before ACL starts and then play Fri/Sat/Sun at ACL. They've also shown up earlier in the year and still play ACL.
Damn your right that is a of a lineup.
Coldplay sucks badly now.
I do want to see PJ if they go though. That'd be insane.
Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Ben Harper, Beck, Jack Johnson...all very much worth the time and money.
hope at least one of those guys will be there.
Radiohead will not be at ACL bc they are already confirmed for Lollapalooza. I wish like they would be, but when a band plays for one they don't play for the other- sorry to say. Plus look at Radiohead's tour dates, they finish their second leg in the Sates at the end of Aug. and are due in Japan at the start of Oct. Sorry all, but not gonna happen this year, yet again....
Pearl Jam will be playing: Dallas 9/25, Austin 9/28, and Houston and or San Antonio soon after per Mike McCready
SHUT UP are you serious?
yep, long time rumors seem to be true
Do you know the venue's.......Austin mainly. Im sure Houston will be the Woodlands and SA will be that horrible one.
not sure, it's just hard rumor in the Pearl Jam world, but it now makes both Mike and Jeff that have said they are playing ACL this year.
Damn I hope thats true!!!
Hey Midge, Dan has the dates up that are rumored.
I say it's pretty solid considering 2 band members are the ones that started the whole thing.. even going as far to give dates
Where?
Yeah thats awesome.
Nevermind.
Looks like I'll have to buy some tix to ACL.
Now, if only we could bring in Bruce Springsteen . . .
