EXIT Festival 2025: A Grand Finale to Remember EDMLI

Novi Sad’s Petrovaradin Fortress came alive one last time in 2025 as Day 4 of the 25th edition of EXIT Festival delivered a powerful and unforgettable closing chapter. From punk icons to electronic trailblazers, the final night united generations and genres on one of the most diverse lineups in the festival’s history.

Revolution on the Tesla Universe Stage

The Tesla Universe Stage was the heart of the revolution on the final night. The legendary Sex Pistols, reimagined with the fiery Frank Carter at the helm, brought raw punk energy that shook the fortress to its foundations. It was defiant, loud, and everything punk should be—a rebellious farewell to EXIT 2025.

Following the punk storm, DJ Snake took over with a global spectacle of lights, bass, and energy. The French hitmaker delivered an explosive set filled with his signature anthems, making it one of the most crowd-hyped moments of the entire festival.

Earlier in the evening, the Tesla Universe Stage also featured the genre-spanning brilliance of Hurts, the euphoric beats of Burak Yeter, and a spiritual, reggae-infused performance from Mystic Marley. A special collaboration between Marko Louis, Marčelo, and Nensi lit up the stage with Balkan soul and rap. Rising acts like iLEE, Divolly & Markward, and the high-voltage energy of Maktub kept the momentum alive throughout the night.

The Official Closing Ceremony, held at 00:45, marked a moment of unity and reflection, bringing together tens of thousands in a collective celebration of music, love, and freedom.

Dance Arena: The Pulse of EXIT’s Soul

As the sun began to set, the Dance Arena surged with emotion and energy. The night began with solo sets from techno heavyweights Boris Brejcha, Sara Landry, and Indira Paganotto, each offering their own flavor of hypnotic rhythms.

But the highlight was undoubtedly the Diynamic Take-Over, curated by Solomun. From his own masterclass performance to electrifying sets by Mau P, and the bold back-to-back of DJ Gigola and Tijana T, the arena was transformed into a temple of house and techno. Rising stars like Ogazón, Lanna, and Hobin Rude ensured the vibe never dropped, leading into a cathartic sunrise that will linger in EXIT lore.

Visa Fusion Stage: A Riot of Local Power and Global Vibes

At the Visa Fusion Stage, the punk spirit continued with iconic Serbian bands Partibrejkers and Pekinška Patka, while trap innovator Coby, eclectic fusion band Naked, and artists like Novski and Rouzi x TNG showcased the region’s vibrant creative pulse.

Later in the night, new-wave pop met urban beats with performances from Bojana Vunturišević, Hiljson Mandela, Z++, and the groove-driven Džoni Midnajt Trio, delivering one of the most genre-blurring lineups of the day.

NSNS Stage Refreshed by Heineken: The Final Underground Dance

True to its No Sleep mission, the NSNS Stage delivered one last night of boundary-pushing electronic music. Headliners Lorenzo Raganzini and Paolo Ferrara returned in a back-to-back frenzy, joined by a fierce lineup including BIIA, Assari b2b Katalina, Balša b2b Dažbog, and Juno with their joint closing set.

In a perfect underground crescendo, the stage also featured Inner Sense, Coeus, and a powerful message-driven performance by Free Students Now with Zippy.

Elsewhere on the NSNS lineup, house and techno fans were treated to high-octane sets from Cole Knight, Honey Luv, Dejan Milićević, and Stormmm, all leading to the No Sleep Last Dance—a euphoric, underground finale for true ravers.

The End of an Era

EXIT Festival 2025 closed out its 25th anniversary in grand style—celebrating freedom, resistance, unity, and music that transcends borders. From punk revolutions and global EDM spectacles to underground techno rituals and regional musical pride, Day 4 was the perfect culmination of four nights of sonic exploration.

Whether you were dancing in the sunrise at the Dance Arena or shouting lyrics with Frank Carter at Tesla Universe, this night reminded us why EXIT continues to be one of Europe’s most beloved festivals.

Until next year, EXIT strong, EXIT free
