The TBA for NOLA JazzFest on Sun. May 3rd is interesting. As much as we all hope it 'might' be the Stones, my original thought was it will probably be like the Foo Fighters, or Taylor Swift or something. So then in looking at Pollstar to see what other big act it could be, yields the following. AC/DC - play the Netherlands on 5/5 so they're out. Taylor Swift is in Tokyo, so thankfully she too is out. Foo Fighters - unlikely, they are in Australia in March then the UK starting 5/25, so they're possible, but not probable. It could be some country act like a Garth Brooks or whatever. My Morning Jacket is kicking into gear again, but not sure they are big enough to close it out (although they are a great live band IMO). U2? They start their tour in Vancouver a couple weeks later and it's unlikely they would play a big festival before then, especially with Bono's recent injury. So maybe it has to be the Stones. Let's hope!
UPDATE: The Foo's play an Alabama festival in mid-May. It's probably the friggin' Foo Fighters.
What about U2?...Their tour strats 20 May 25th in Vancouver..Good warm up gig.

Well, you have some big names on the list of performers and Jazz Fest is claiming that the last headliner is even bigger than anyone else already announced playing there. So unless it is hepperbole, there aren't many names that fit that description.

What "person" could be bigger than The Who or Elton John?

Wow.
I'll admit that I got sucked into thinking the Vegas Rock in Rio announcement was going to happen tonight.
As it stands, that lineup blows.
@#$%&.
C'mon Rolling Stones, announce a few shows already.
Damnit!

Sorry to be a "party killer", but let's face the facts... The Rolling Stones don't normally announce shows or tours until 4-6 weeks before they will happen.
The shows of the USA & Canada tour in 2013 were announced on April 3, 2013. The rehearsals started less than two weeks later, and the tour started exactly 30 days later on May 3, with the Echoplex show one week before that. Same with the 2012 shows. They were announced Oct 15, 2012, and peformed just a few weeks later Nov/Dec 2012. Same with most other shows the Stones are doing these days. European tour dates god confirmed in March and on, two months ahead of the tour, a bit early, because there were festivals involved, with the need for an early announcement.

please stop acting delusional. every promoter of every festival will
always try to create the biggest possible excitement about revealing
who the headliners will be. as of now, there's absolutely no hint at
any Stones concert in the US. really nothing. they didn't play Brazil
and Argentina yet, so maybe there's something in the works there, but
that's also more like wishful thinking than anything solid. and i do
believe they will want to wrap it all up in London like in 2007, but
as long as nothing else is announced, that is only rumours as well.

I'd be more than happy if the Stones came back to London this summer!
Hear Hear Martha! Hints aplenty that it's going to be Hyde Park again. I live near Swindon so very convenient for me. If it's 28th June with the Who already confirmed for 26th that will be some weekend in the Park

Just my two cents, and nothing to do with the question wether the Stones will participate or not in this year's line-up:
I think it sounds rather silly to na an event "Rock in Rio" when it takes place in Lisbon, or Vegas, or anywhere but Rio for that matter.
There; I said it.
