EXIT Festival based in Serbia’s second city of Novi Sad has immensely grown and become popular in the last few years in Europe, making it one of the top festivals in the beautiful continent.

Following are the 5 reasons why this festival is a must-to-go for a European:

1. A Force for social change

EXIT Festival was formed in the spirit of genuine youth rebellion unlike other modern worldwide festivals these days who are more of a commercial enterprise. The festival’s mission is to – achieve social change with music and foster an openness with the rest of Europe and further afield. Each year EXIT has a theme, like ‘Freedom‘, ‘Summer of Love’, or this year’s ‘Tribe‘. All this sums up to vibe of Unity and to this amazing festival/music community.

2. The Stunning location

Petrovaradin Fortress is simply Europe’s greatest festival setting- a 18th Century citadel on a cliff overlooking the beautiful River Danube. The vast site has ancient cobbled paths, grand courtyards, underground tunnels, and a lot more for you to see! It’s a perfect vantage point for a view of the entire city and the River Danube below. It is one of the most cherished locations in Serbia and is protected by the State. This location is overwhelming for all the festival-goers.

3. The whole city embraces EXIT

Novi Sad and the people of Novi Sad are extremely good-natured and welcome EXIT like a returning best mate very summer. From street vendors to the citizens selling beers, all wait for this festival eagerly throughout the year. Prepare to be stopped by many Serbians for a chat over the weekend- they’re dying to find out where you’re from and to thank you for visiting their enormous city.

4. The wildly diverse line ups

If by chance you quickly take a look on the EXIT line–up every year you’ll definitely notice some huge names who’ve headlined in the previous years, as well as top DJs and hyped acts. Grace Jones, Liam Gallagher, The Killers, The Prodigy, Nick Cave and New Order are just a few names who’ve visited Petrovaradin over the last few years. Digging deeper, you’ll find the most eclectic line-up of any European festival, ranging from indie-rock and pop to techno, reggae, hip-hop, disco and a lot more! You can embrace the heaviest metal on the planet at the Infamous Explosive Stage at EXIT. There are over 20 stages so EXIT is surely a must-go! You can even showcase your skills at the Karoake Stage specially made for all the lovely people at the festival.

5. Value for money

If you’re a UK Festival veteran you’ll be allergic to the overpriced tickets and food and drink costs that border on extortion rackets. EXIT’s production values are off the charts, ranging from sound systems to the laser shows, fireworks and performers- it’s by far the cheapest big league festival in Europe. Four day festival passes are for £99 currently with a 5 tickets for the price of 4 Offer. A camping pass is only for £27 on top of that, you can stay for a week!

Hope to see you all at EXIT this year!
