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.

Tbh if it were Maneskin i’m pretty sure they would’ve announced them already.
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

Yeah but we have 4 already, then also Liam confirmed as headliner. That leaves one spot. The commenter said two major headliners. I doubt any huge headliner would go into a “co-headlining spot”
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.-

Are Major Lazer playing anywhere else this summer though?
States and Japan only yet, but Sziget is exactly between these dates.

Dua?
Four festivals across Europe already announced her as a headliner.

Yeah but noone's impossible then, you know what I mean. I just doubt they would get Biffy Clyro to fly over to Eastern-Europe where they have no proper fanbase.
Edit: and both of your names arrived for a headliner spot. Biffy Clyro would never be a headliner, and don't get me wrong, I'm a fan. I saw them last time at Sziget as a sub, it wasn't extremely crowded either. I would say that if they played in Germany in August then fine, it would be possible, but you won't fly a band over that was semi-successful the last time they were here for a subheadlining spot.
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 😀

They've got one gig announced in England as far as I can see, I don't think that makes them available for a gig in Eastern-Europe 😞
Kings of Leon and Mumford & Sons once played Sziget as European exclusive show, so totally not impossible.

The main problem is that overall the artist pool is good, and from the first sight it's hard to make next announcement worse. Still there's a lack of massive artists and, what's more important, almost all of the others are far from Sziget's current direction.
The Offspring, Rise Against, QOTSA, LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, Pixies, Korn, The Prodigy, Massive Attack, Pendulum, Keane, Two Door CInema Club, Snow Patrol, Pulp, The National, The Smile, PJ Harvey, Biffy Clyro, Fatboy Slim, Catfish, Liam Gallagher, even Noel Gallagher are all around, reach out and grab them (if their schedule allows).
If Sziget wants to play it big, there are always Lana Del Rey, Måneskin, Swedish House Mafia and The Chainsmokers; Macklemore is also here to the rescue, but it would be ridiculuos (and I have a gut feeling that he'll be there).

R+L and Open'er joining the limited list of festivals with banger line-ups. Is Sziget the only major European festival which has yet to announce anything in Jan/Feb?
IMO most of this year's better lineups are provided by August festivals. Way Out West, Øya, Reading / Leeds, Kalorama, Lowlands, and of course Rock en Seine. Strange that Sziget lacks behind.

Same day as Foo Fighters
Very strong move considering they are main headliners of the day everywhere else.
Sometimes Open'er can surprise, still remember planned for 2020 main stage run of The Killers - The Cure - The Chemical Brothers...-

I remember Ronnie Flex & The Fam being booked for Main Stage in 2022, they must have a strong Dutch market
Sziget historically had lots of Dutch attendees, one of the reasons - it was much cheaper then Dutch festivals even including travel costs. But since 2022 this advantage started to disappear.
-
I like how they didn’t even mention Stormzy among headliners 🙃

The one disappointment I've had is that the acts I should like, as they are my kind of genre, I just can't get into - I'm thinking Big Thief, Wednesday and Pip Blom. They just seem a little....meh. Which is a shame.
Saw Big Thief at Sziget in 2019, don't know who decided to put them to play main stage, but they seemed so out of place there.

Why is 311 so small in the poster?
This festival is a great value for money.
They are pretty unknown in Europe as they played their latest show there more than twenty years ago.

To put it into perspective, here are the lineups from 2016, 2017 and 2018
My first FIB and also first foreign festival, ten years ago. Got a ticket for €70 or something like this (of course, showers, re-entrance and camping all were included). Kasabian on their peak, The Libs reunion... Inflation and all, but still...
Good memories, unfortunately, can't see our company coming back with their new marketing strategy.

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 🙂
