Exit (festival)
Exit , also in Serbian Egzit , is a music festival in Novi Sad , Serbia . The festival focuses on rock music and electronic music and is held annually in the summer at the Petrovaradin fortress.
The festival was founded in 2000 and usually lasts four days. The initiators were a group of students from the University of Novi Sad , the young people in Serbia an alternative and a cultural revival after the collapse of Yugoslavia wanted to provide a type of "output" ( exit ). Despite financial and other crises, Exit developed into one of the most important music events in Southeast Europe and, along with the Guča Trumpet Festival, the largest in Serbia. It's kind of a contrast to the Guča Trumpet Festival, which is more dedicated to patriotism , while Exit stands for a cosmopolitan side of Serbia.
In 2007 Exit was named the best music festival in Europe by the UK Festival Awards in collaboration with Yourope. In the same year the festival set a record with a good 190,000 visitors.
