PARKING

There is no festival car park for visitors. The nearest parking lot is across the river, before the Duga bridge, or in Petrovaradin. Traffic in the surrounding streets is suspended during the festival. Driving from the EXIT camp to the festival is not recommended. Due to heavy traffic on the approach to Petrovaradin Fortress and the fact that several streets in Petrovaradin are closed, driving can take much longer than walking or taking the bus.

Festival visitors can rent small and medium-sized lockers equipped with electric outlets to store their personal belongings. Lockers can be rented at the festival in the central Foodland for one evening or all four festival nights.

Costs of renting safety lockers:
Locker camp 4 days – 3.500 RSD
Locker festival (Foodland) 4 days – 3.500 RSD
Locker festival (Foodland) 1 day – 1.600 RSD

FIRST AID

Red Cross crews, emergency services, and the fire department are on duty during all four nights of EXIT. Depending on the sound volume at concerts, there is a risk of hearing damage and other health problems. Depending on the type and strength of lighting effects, there is a risk of vision impairment and other health problems. Visitors can turn to security personnel in distinctive fluorescent vests if they need assistance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT

Psychological support points will be set up in several locations — the EXIT camp, Foodland, and the festival’s OPENS State of EXIT zone. The goal is to provide festival-goers with a safe place to rest and have a confidential conversation.

EXIT INFO DESK

Visitors can contact promoters at the information desk, conveniently located near the Main Stage and central Foodland, at any time.
