headliner
Marquee's biggest name
A headliner is the main attraction at an event, especially a concert or festival—the act that appears last and draws the largest crowd: The band headlined at Coachella.
In automotive contexts, a headliner is the fabric lining the interior of a car's roof.
The entertainment sense dominates contemporary usage.
