For me it's: 07.06: Against the Current - The Interrupters - 311 - The Scratch / Dogstar - Pinkshift / Royal Republic / Kvelertak - Pendulum - Green Day 08.06: H-Blockx - Atreyu - OM&M - Hanabie - Polyphia - While She Sleeps - Machine Head - Måneskin - Parkway Drive 09.06: Guano Apes - Royal Blood - Enter Shikari - ††† - QOTSA - Kreator / Neck Deep - Beartooth - A7x, where bold is a must see. A7x are one of my favourite bands, and I'm really looking forward to watch them for the first time as the final festival show on my birthday 🙂

Timetable is available on the app. Billy Talent / Pendulum, Green Day / Bad Omens and Måneskin / Corey Taylor clashes are disappointing, otherwise for me it's fine, could be worse.

Actually Maneskin sometimes prefer to be announced separately or in a batch where they are the biggest band. Les Déferlantes, Provinssi, Mad Cool, Open'er and Super Bock Super Rock as examples.

If we assume all these names are last two main stage acts for every day than we still need two more. Could be headliner and sub or two headliners, depending on how promoters want to put it on a poster

Halsey is a good shout, rather popular and can play one-offs (like India this January). Not my kind of music, but heard good reviews about her show from friends, some pop-punkish Paramore vibes.

Really can't believe we are discussing Ellie Goulding as a potentional headliner, I love Lights and Halcyon eras but I saw her live three times and each one was worse than the previous. It's a robot girl on stage, no emotions, no show.

Day splits, TBH -- not that bad by modern Exit standards

Who wrote this?

My thoughts are: - Liam and Stormzy play the same day to attract UK visitors; - Sam Smith seems to be surprisingly big, so they could leave him as a standalone headliner; - Same with Fred, maybe they add Skrillex as second headliner that day; - Martin Garrix always was a standalone headliner at Sziget, no reasons to change it; So there could be two spots left.

States and Japan only yet, but Sziget is exactly between these dates.

Imagine if with all potential options Sziget decides to book both Major Lazer and Macklemore as headliners…

Four festivals across Europe already announced her as a headliner.

We know someting's going wrong with Sziget when there's no Bastille in even-numbered year...

More suitable example then: in 2019 they brought Razorlight, who also had only one UK date (and Summer Well then) and IMO even less fans in Europe 😀

Kings of Leon and Mumford & Sons once played Sziget as European exclusive show, so totally not impossible.
