The EXIT Festival has finally kicked off, bringing a music spectacle the region has never seen before! This musical giant, running for a quarter of a century, once again gathers the world at the Petrovaradin Fortress — a place where freedom and rebellion turn into music and the energy of unity.
This year’s lineup is explosive: from Italian diva Gala, whose hit “Freed from Desire” still rocks Serbia, to the legendary Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats, reminding us of the humanity and solidarity of Live Aid 40 years ago.
On the main stage, Dutch DJ Tiësto will perform for the first time at EXIT, alongside local punk band Wrishlas and legendary Atheist Rap.
The Visa Fusion stage brings regional sounds with names like Nikola Vranjković, Amna, and Helem Nejse, while the Dance Arena prepares a techno spectacle featuring Nina Kraviz, Amelie Lens, and Yousuke Yukimatsu.
For hardcore fans, the Explosive stage hosts bands like Total Chaos, The Flame 69, and many more.
A special artistic segment at the opening is the multimedia performance “Emergency Exit,” celebrating unity, freedom, and hope through contemporary art, in collaboration with the Spanish theater troupe La Fura dels Baus.
EXIT is not just a festival; it’s a movement, a legacy, and an emotion that belongs to all of us. If you love music, energy, and good vibes, this is the place you can’t miss! And if you’ve been before, you know it’s an experience that stays with you forever.
So, what do you think — is EXIT still the best festival in the region, or is it time for new heroes? Drop a comment, spark a debate, or just enjoy the beat!
