The Pachamama stage is one of the youngest additions to the EXIT Festival, nestled at the Petrovaradin Fortress near the iconic clock tower, offering stunning views of Novi Sad, often enhanced by breathtaking sunsets over the majestic Danube. This oasis serves as the perfect refuge of freedom and peace, a festival within a festival that brings an entirely new sound, regardless of genre preferences. Here, everyone has the chance to feel liberated and untamed and to express their emotions authentically, in harmony with their inner self. The stage is a rhythmic paradise that gathers the most prominent conscious music artists each year, bringing the essence of the region’s first consciousness festival, Ada Divine Awakening, to EXIT.
Since 2017, the stage has featured numerous multitalented musicians and performers from the conscious music scene, including the likes of Mose, Aware, Sam Garrett, Vylana, Laor, Praful, Pepe Danza, Tebra, and many more.
The spirit of Pachamama remained alive even in 2020 during the Life Stream event held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme, the largest humanitarian organization in the world. This global project marked an extraordinary festival season, running from September 3 to 6, with a limited number of attendees, and each evening’s program kicked off with unique and energetic performances by Pachamama artists.
Pacha Mama, a.k.a. Mother Earth, symbolizes an alternative way of life and serves as a gathering space for young people dedicated to preserving nature and the environment. In this setting, individuals are encouraged to express themselves creatively, spread positive energy, and celebrate free love, peace, and a spiritual revolution. This stage is more than just a musical platform — it offers performers the chance to showcase their diverse skills in relaxing the mind, body, and spirit, using instruments with healing properties that awaken vibrant energy in the audience, guiding them on a meditative journey and creating a powerful energetic field. In doing so, Pachamama not only honors the tradition of respecting nature but also inspires the community to connect with the natural world through music and art, allowing people to celebrate life in harmony with their surroundings.
A short documentary dedicated to the colorful spirit of Pachamama highlights the importance of the interconnectedness of all living beings and pays tribute to music as a bridge between individuals and their inner selves through the ritual of dance and other values that form the essence of this stage.
