In a video released today, EXIT shows that the strength of the Novi Sad festival lies not only in its star-studded line-up but also its musical diversity, facilitated by a series of smaller stages and zones. Unlike most other major European events, EXIT’s numerous stages offer an eclectic, multi-genre blend of almost all contemporary music genres, from the biggest global hits to underground electronic music, from classic rock to extreme heavy metal and punk, from old-school hip hop to trap, drum’n’bass, reggae, latino, and World Music.
The leading names on the top-class list of acts to arrive at the Petrovaradin Fortress from 7th to 10th July include Calvin Harris, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Iggy Azalea, James Arthur, Masked Wolf, ZHU, Sepultura, Maceo Plex, Honey Dijon, Boris Brejcha, Stephan Bodzin live, ARTBAT, Denis Sulta, DJ Tennis, Anfisa Letyago, Marky Ramone, Napalm Death, The Exploited, Blind Channel, Adam Beyer B2B Enrico Sangiuliano, Dax J, Sama’ Abdulhadi, and a strong regional line-up led by Konstrakta, Senidah, Prti Bee Gee, Marčelo, Brkovi, Artan Lili, Paraf, Killo Killo, Mimi Mercedez, Kiril Djaikovski, Bojana Vunturišević, Deca loših muzičara, with hundreds of others following suit.
