Over 200,000 People Gather at the Fortress to Say: EXIT IS LOVE AND FREEDOM!

The festival opened from space for the first time, bringing music, spirituality, and cosmic experience to the universe. The stars aligned for the most powerful and remarkable EXIT festival to date, featuring a heartwarming reunion with The Prodigy, two all-female concepts featuring Nina Kraviz, Indira Paganotto, Amelie Lens, Senidah, Mimi Mercedez, Sajsi MC, and others, and the 50th-anniversary celebration of hip-hop with Wu-Tang Clan. Over 200,000 brightest lights illuminated the Petrovaradin Fortress in love and freedom!

The four festival evenings’ high-frequency love and freedom energy impacted visitors and famous musicians alike. We can create a world of peace, love, dance, and joy for our children and their offspring. In his introductory statement, motivational speaker and philanthropist Aubrey Marcus declared, “We can build that world together.” The Prodigy then opened their performance with “Breathe,” reminding the local crowd of their first meeting and first live performance of this song in Serbia in 1995 and that they had returned to their favourite festival, their spiritual home. “EXIT always represents, but last night was next level,” they wrote on Instagram after the show. That same night, the all-female concept at mts Dance Arena suddenly brought together two of electronic music’s most influential women, Nina Kraviz and Indira Paganotto, who played an eclectic B2B set!

Skrillex stunned tens of thousands of fans at Gorki List Main Stage on the second festival night by opening his concert with the 1959 local song “Zvižduk u 8” by Yugoslav music legend Đorđe Marjanović. At mts Dance Arena, a decade-long Eric Prydz event, a crowd danced euphorically!

On Saturday night, the story continued. Alesso posted, “Wow, what an honour to headline this legendary festival!” Vintage Culture got a birthday cake at mts Dance Arena, and colourful duo Sofi Tukker wanted to stay until the end. Senidah, overwhelmed by the excitement, wandered numerous stages until settling at Gioli & Assia’s performance at mts Dance Arena!

On Sunday, crowds of people poured over the Varadin Bridge to get the finest location in front of Gorki List Main Stage for Wu-Tang Clan, the greatest hip-hop group of all time, who wowed the crowd with their rhymes and live band. “EXIT was amazing,” they stated. Another star-crossed meeting occurred backstage when RZA, the mastermind behind this legendary New York crew, and Bege Fank played chess after their performances as the band signed Smoke Mardeljano’s tattoo! “The connection is hip-hop; everyone loves it, knows it, understands it, lives it, and breathes it,” said Onyx, another group celebrating 50 years of hip-hop. “We’re following Wu-Tang Clan. “Can it get more exciting?” Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike asked before taking the stage.
