Many artists shared heartfelt and emotional impressions on social media, including Carl Cox, I Hate Models, Whyte Fang, Tom Morello, John Newman, Cavalera, Sara Landry, and others.
One of the biggest superstars in electronic music, Carl Cox, transported the EXIT audience to another dimension with the premiere of his hybrid live set. He shared the unforgettable memory of his performance with over two million social media followers:
“EXIT, you were ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE! The energy and love I felt from all of you was beyond special. As always, playing the Dance Arena is such an incredible experience & it was truly a joy to play for such a fantastic crowd“, Cox wrote on Instagram and X, announcing that he would be delighted to return to the EXIT Festival.
Mornings spent at the mts Dance Arena are traditionally among the most tender and energetic memories associated with EXIT. The sunrise on the final day of the festival, in front of a crowd that follows every beat with all their heart, remains the most memorable moment for I Hate Models:
“What an unforgettable experience playing during the sunrise at EXIT Festival! To everyone who joined us at the Dance Arena and shared this magical moment, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your energy and love made this set truly special. Can’t describe how happy I was during this moment. I love you guys,” wrote the famous DJ, who was moved by the emotions in an Instagram post.

Dutch motivational speaker Wim Hof, popularly known as The Iceman, took to Instagram to reflect on EXIT’s spectacular opening ceremony on Day 0. His incantatory energy completed the experience: “amazing festival I was part of recently in Serbia. Free energy, free medicine, free love,” he wrote, highlighting the core messages that united attendees from all over the world.
Just before stepping onto the Tesla Universe stage – a moment we’ve anticipated for 24 years – legendary guitarist and founder of Rage Against the Machine, Tom Morello, excitedly reached out to his fans on Instagram: “First ever show in Serbia in a few hours. Can’t wait,” and the ensuing spectacle and audience ovations couldn’t be contained in a single post!
The significance of EXIT and its unforgettable nature is echoed in regional stars’ social media posts. Rising icon and Croatia’s Eurovision representative, Baby Lasagna, wrote on Instagram: “What an experience, way beyond what I imagined! Thank you, Exit, thank you, Novi Sad,” cherishing his first-ever selfie with the audience as an unparalleled festival memory.
Even John Newman, the supreme pop-soul star among this year’s headliners, couldn’t resist EXIT’s energy. He shared particularly emotional impressions of his performance on Instagram:
“We show my previous Exit show all the time to my daughter to show her what her daddy does and now I have been able to reinstate that moment 8 years on in this new generation of me and my fans. I really did leave everything out there and had no emotion or strength after the show to the point where I collapsed, and I really hope it showed to everyone there. Thank you again to everyone at Exit. I love you from the bottom of my heart.”
Just saying “EXIT!!!” is enough to convey the atmosphere, as the Cavaleras’ energetic selfies with thousands of fans set social media ablaze, speaking louder than a thousand words! Members of the legendary band The Exploited, whose performance drove the crowd wild with excitement, commented on social media that this was one of their favorite shows ever!
The queen of audiovisual spectacle, Whyte Fang, enchanted the audience on the Tesla Universe stage with her unique show. She confirmed how much it meant to her personally in an X post: “Seeing this world I’ve created in my mind become a reality is a surreal experience. I am grateful for all of you who want to exist in this world with me,” she wrote.
Another DJ who left the audience breathless – and vice versa – was Sara Landry! “YOU BLEW MY MIND! I had so much fun in Novi Sad on Sunday at the EXIT Festival; thank you all so much for coming. Serbia, I LOVE YOU,“ she posted on Instagram.
