star attraction
Top billing act
The star attraction is the main draw of an event or venue—the performer, exhibit, or feature that audiences most want to see.
A headlining band is the star attraction at a festival; a famous painting might be the star attraction at a museum.
The phrase emphasizes what pulls people in: The roller coaster was the star attraction of the amusement park.
