EXIT is an award-winning summer music festival that takes place at the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia, with more than 1000 artists who play at over 40 stages and festival zones. 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 where it has stayed ever since.
In the summer of 2021 EXIT was the first major European festival that took place since the beginning of the pandemic with more than 180.000 visitors passing through festival gates during four days. The edition, which also marked the festival’s 20th anniversary, was titled by many international media, such as Billboard and Variety, as a historical event.
