Exit (festival)

Exit (stylized in all caps; Serbian: Егзит / Egzit) is a summer music festival which is held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia.

In February 2007, founder and majority owner Dušan Kovačević, together with his associates, decided to donate the festival to the city of Novi Sad following external offers to purchase the event, with a view that this would keep the festival within the city.

[11] In 2018 BBC News noted Exit as one of the world's largest music festivals, hosting more than 200,000 people from 60 countries.

Exit Festival, which was initially pushed back to August 2020,[26] was ultimately postponed until July 2021[27] but held a 4-day semi-virtual edition in September 2020 as part of the global Life Stream project.

[32] It hosted c. 40,000 attendees per day and took place at the Petrovaradin Fortress, an hour away from capital Belgrade.

Over four days, the festival was visited by about c. 200,000 people, and the main performers were Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Calvin Harris, Iggy Azalea, Masked Wolf, ZHU, Sepultura and others.
