EXIT (Serbian: Егзит / Egzit) is an award-winning summer music festival which is held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. It was officially proclaimed as the 'Best Major European festival' at the EU Festival Awards, which were held in Groningen in January 2014 and 2018, while its Montenegrin edition Sea Dance festival won the "Best Mid-Sized European festival" Award in 2015. The EU Festival Award is considered as one of the most prestigious festival awards in the world.[1]
The festival was founded in 2000 in the University park as a student movement, fighting for democracy and freedom in Serbia and the Balkans. After the Yugoslavian general election in 2000, EXIT moved to the Petrovaradin fortress in 2001. Nonetheless, social responsibility is still key aspect of the festival activities.
EXIT has won the 'Best Overseas Festival' award at the UK Festival Awards in 2007,[2] 'Best Major Festival Award' in 2013 and 2017[3] and was ranked one of the 10 best major festivals at European Festivals Awards 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and one of the 10 Best Overseas Festival at UK Festival Awards 2013.[4]
EXIT has gained international media attention over the years. The International edition of CNN, CNN World Fiesta, featured an article on music festivals in the beginning of June 2011, which included EXIT on the list of nine best festivals in the world.[5] The Guardian declared EXIT as the best festival in the world in 2006[6] and the best tourist destination in 2008.[7] The Sun, the British daily newspaper, included EXIT on the list of eight best festival destinations in 2012.[8] In Euronews' May 2013 article on the world's leading festival destinations, EXIT was included in the ten best European festivals in 2013.[9] BBC included EXIT on the list of seven world's greatest festivals in 2018.[10]
EXIT has received several awards: the Golden Superbrand at Superbrands Serbia 2006,[11] Best SEE Event at SEE.ME Awards in 2007, 2008 and 2010.[12] UK Festival Awards 2007, together with Yourope, the Association of the 40 largest festivals in Europe, awarded EXIT the 'Best European Festival' award. In March 2018 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Regional Cooperation Council awarded EXIT Festival as Champion of Regional Cooperation for 2017.[13]
EXIT team organizes five events on five different locations in four countries in South-East Europe: Sea Star Festival (Umag, Croatia) in May, Revolution Festival (Timișoara, Romania) in June, EXIT Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia) in July, Sea Dance Festival (Budva, Montenegro) in August and No Sleep Festival (Belgrade, Serbia) in November[14]

EXIT Foundation
The EXIT Foundation was founded in 2010 in Novi Sad. Its main goal is helping young citizens of Novi Sad to gain new academic experiences through financing and co-financing their scholarships and academic projects. The foundation supports student efforts to catch up with advanced scientific research trends and high professional standards at the international level in science, culture and sports.
An individual Foundation Scholarship Program began in 2010. In cooperation with the University of Novi Sad, the Foundation developed a program of scholarships for individual students, a program to support individual students’ projects, as well as student organizations, while it includes regular student population in the community and EXIT Festival's youth campaigns.
Since 2013, EXIT has a goal to participate in mobilizing current opinion and deciding on two areas it has been known for: destination branding and youth development. The EXIT Foundation dedicates its work to key topics in social involvement: national branding, regional connection through creative industries, as well as promoting positive examples to the youth.[16]
History by years
EXIT 2000
The inaugural installment of EXIT was held around 100 days throughout the summer of 2000 on various stages set up between University of Novi Sad's Faculty of Philosophy building and the Danube's left bank. Initially the festival had a pronounced political component, representing, in effect, another form of anti-Milošević protest. Although, due to fear of government repression, its activism was thinly veiled under the guise of merely getting the youth interested in political process, the festival's ties with Otpor! and other forces pushing for regime change were clear to all that attended.
Through multiple appearances by domestic and Yugoslavian artists and bands like Darkwood Dub, Orthodox Celts, Eyesburn, Van Gogh, Atheist Rap and Deca Loših Muzičara, as well as a wide variety of art performances, the crowds were encouraged to get involved. The festival ended a couple of days before the September 24, 2000 Federal Presidential election, which ended up becoming the first step in the government's overthrow.
The slogan of the festival was: 'EXIT out of ten years of madness', a reference to Milošević rule.[original research?]
EXIT 01
After straightening out some issues with municipal authorities over the use of the Petrovaradin fortress,[17] EXIT crossed the Danube to move into the historic site. The 2001 festival (July 6 to July 14) was set as the celebration of Serbia finally being rid of Milošević, as well as of the country opening up to the world again after years of international isolation. This year's event also went under the name 'EXIT - Noise Summer Fest'.
In many ways EXIT became the new authorities' darling as different levels of the government (municipal, provincial and republican) all made sure the event received plenty of funding. The presence of politicians was very heavy indeed - the festival was opened by Vojvodina provincial assembly president Nenad Čanak and Novi Sad mayor Borislav Novaković. Furthermore, Minister of Finance Božidar Đelić and the National Bank governor Mlađan Dinkić performed a set of EKV covers before a raucous crowd.
It was cut down to the more focused and manageable nine days with foreign acts Finley Quaye, Banco de Gaia, Kosheen, Tony Allen, 4hero, etc. playing on the Main and DJ stages. Serbian crowds also had an opportunity to again see the acts from other parts of ex-Yugoslavia like Darko Rundek or KUD Idijoti that not too long before that started touring Serbia again after staying away for close to a decade.
This was also the year when the festival organizers started to carve out its musical profile. With the Main stage reserved for most commercially appealing acts (both foreign and domestic), they also introduced the DJ and Rock stages, clearly indicating the festival would be open to all kinds of music.
In addition to music, 2001 EXIT featured drama performances from different regional theatres, as well as workshops and socio-political roundtables discussing issues like reconciliation among the nations of former Yugoslavia.
EXIT 02
EXIT's 2002 edition (July 5 - July 13) was in many ways a repeat of the previous year, which noticeably clashed with the festival's new marketing mantra 'Serbia, are you ready for the future?'. Though it brought plenty of fresh DJ talents like David Morales, Darren Emerson, LTJ Bukem, Marshall Jefferson, Erick Morillo, as well as Main stage acts like Asian Dub Foundation, Transglobal Underground, Fun-Da-Mental, Smoke City, Blue States, etc. EXIT 02 featured too many of the already seen performers like Tony Allen, Banco de Gaia, Darko Rundek, Roni Size, Van Gogh, and Love Hunters.
Even if attendance was impressive once again (more than 250,000 visitors over nine days), many among the crowds were somewhat disappointed by the absence of really big and relevant names.
Immediately following the end of 2002 EXIT, the organizers announced a €300,000 loss for that year's event. This led to criticism and allegations of financial mismanagement by the Democratic Party of Serbia's (DSS) Novi Sad branch. The party announced plans of pushing for the creation of a special commission within the Novi Sad municipal assembly that would look into the festival's finances.[18]
EXIT 03
EXIT 2003 was staged from July 3 to July 6, 2003. Organizers heeded the previous public advice by giving the festival a major organizational and conceptual makeover. It was shortened down to four days along with a new 'State of EXIT' marketing campaign.[19] Additionally, they also did away with most of the non-musical content, marking the beginning of festival's commercial shift. This was visibly reflected in the aggressive advertising presence, of which the festival had been spared up to that point through generous government funding. Each of the seven stages had a separate sponsor and the ticket prices went up.
Justifiably, the line-up was much more mass-audience friendly with acts like Rollins Band, Tricky, Moloko, Stereo MCs, Dirty Vegas, Chumbawamba, Soul II Soul and Shane MacGowan along with old favorites Roni Size, Darren Emerson etc.
EXIT 04
The lead up to EXIT 04 (July 1-4, 2004) was almost as eventful as the 4-day happening itself. On June 7, three weeks before the festival's scheduled opening night, four of the organizers were arrested for embezzlement. The specific charge was "defrauding the organization of 12 million dinars (around US$160,000) by doctoring official financial papers".[20]
Two of them, suspected of assisting, were released almost immediately, while Dušan Kovačević, EXIT society president and Bojan Bošković, EXIT general manager were assigned 30-day detention to prevent them from influencing potential witnesses since they were now suspected of failing to report the actual revenue from EXIT 2003 ticket sales by writing up false invoices. The remaining EXIT team fronted by spokesperson Aleksandra Kolar vehemently denied the charges, claiming the festival was the target of political persecution. On June 15, after examining seven witnesses that confirmed the earlier police statements by Kovačević and Bošković, the duo was released after seven days of prison detention.[21] No charges were ever pressed.
So following a rough week during which it looked like the festival might even be cancelled for the year, the event was on again. The commercialization took further root with many more in-your-face sponsors and even the omnipresent MTV coming to Petrovaradin fortress for the first time to shoot a documentary on Novi Sad and the festival, as well as to publicize a human trafficking awareness campaign.[22] The insatiable British music press also discovered the festival, resulting in some very affirmative reviews in NME and Mojo.
EXIT 2004 instituted a Balkan Fusion stage for the variety of regional acts. The Main stage was reserved for headliners Massive Attack, Cypress Hill, Brand New Heavies, Goldfrapp, and The Stooges as well as The Wailers, Peaches, Rambo Amadeus, Partibrejkers, Darkwood Dub, Obojeni Program, Adam Freeland, 4hero, Neneh Cherry, and especially reunited for-one-night-only 1980s Novi Sad favourites Luna.
The DJ stage featured some big names like Speedy J, Timo Maas, Sander Kleinenberg, Roger Sanchez, Howie B, X-Press 2, Ken Ishii, etc., while the aforementioned Balkan stage saw the return of new-look Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša after a 3-year absence.
Kings of Leon have cancelled their show prior to the festival.
EXIT 05
In 2005 (July 7 to July 10), EXIT received a further media boost when BBC Radio 1 announced it would be covering the festival live. With a DJ crew of Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, Gilles Peterson, and Fabio descending upon Novi Sad, British listeners as well as the BBC's worldwide audience were able to hear live broadcasts from the festival site. MTV also returned for the second year in a row.
The organizers' idea to commemorate some painful events from recent Balkans' history didn't exactly go according to plan. Their initial intention was to dedicate a minute of silence to victims of Srebrenica massacre at the stroke of midnight between the festival's last day and July 11 early morning - Srebrenica's tenth anniversary. However, after crowd commotion on one of the smaller stages during the Dubioza kolektiv set couple of days before, when the band consisting of Bosnian Muslims played a collage of Srebrenica-related soundbites by Serbian politicians on the screen behind them, the mostly Serbian crowd started pelting the performers on stage with plastic water bottles, as well as continuous pressure from far-right SRS that objected to what it saw to be glorification of Bosnian Muslim victims of war over Bosnian Serb ones, the organizers scrapped the minute of silence fearing more crowd trouble. Instead, they announced plans to play the song 'I Saved the World Today' by Annie Lennox as a way to remember all victims with different video beams around the festival site showing a message of peace "Standing here ten years later, let's promise our children, our children's grandchildren as well as the children of our children's grandchildren that Srebrenica, Bratunac, Vukovar, Operation Storm, Ahmići, Đakovica, Staro Gracko will not be repeated. Never again!" But even that plan was abandoned on suggestions from local police after few earlier bomb threats that turned out to be false. The final decision was left up to the festival organizers and they decided the possible threat of security trouble was just too big. Afterwards, mayor Maja Gojković also revealed she received anonymous threats ordering her to "stay away from the fortress during the festival, or else".[23]
As for the music itself, the lineup was by far the strongest ever. With headliners Underworld, Garbage, Fatboy Slim, The White Stripes, Ian Brown, Slayer, The Datsuns, Arhangel and Laibach, hugely popular Ladytron, Overdrive, Carl Cox, Felix da Housecat, DJ Marky, DJ Patife, 2 Many DJs, Sasha, and regional favourites Edo Maajka, Disciplin A Kitschme, etc., the crowds were treated to some truly diverse music.
More than 150,000 people passed through the fortress' gates over four days. For the first time since its inception, EXIT saw a large foreign (outside of former Yugoslavia) presence. Over one thousand British people have attended, which was the result of cheap admission tickets for an average Westerner as well as positive reviews the festival had been getting in British press.
EXIT 06

Visitors could watch the World Cup finals on big screens that were placed around the fortress.
In mid-April 2006, EXIT organizers signed a contract with mayor Maja Gojković stipulating terms of a 3-year cooperation commitment on the part of Novi Sad municipal government. Olli Rehn, EU Commissioner for Enlargement, visited the festival opening ceremony and he held a speech about European visas.
EXIT 007
EXIT 2007 was held from July 12 to July 15, 2007. It was attended by 190,000 people, with more than half being foreigners. Most came away from the festival with positive opinions regarding the festival and Serbia.[24]
On November 9, 2006, EXIT organizers and Serbian Ministry of Finance signed a support protocol ensuring the Ministry's minimum commitment of 30 million dinars (around €380,000) in each of the next four years (2007-2010) towards the festival's annual operating costs. Present at the public signing were the outgoing Minister of Finance Mlađan Dinkić, EXIT co-founder Bojan Bošković, as well as performers Rambo Amadeus and Obojeni Program's frontman Kebra.
In the meantime, Bošković and president of Vojvodina's government Bojan Pajtić signed a protocol about 'Winter EXIT' series of club dates, which took place from January 5 until January 20 as a club tour of several Serbian acts throughout six cities in Vojvodina. For this project, the government spent about €50,000.
On January 19, a well established production company Komuna made a public offer to the EXIT team in regards to the festival's organizational and operating costs in the next five years but the offer was rejected.[25]
