Millions of people worldwide who follow his work dream of the opportunity to meet him and hear what he has to say, and they will have that chance in Novi Sad, both in the evening at the Petrovaradin Fortress and earlier in the day in the city itself. Wim Hof will address the audience at the festival opening, share some of his knowledge, and encourage us to ignite our own passions!

The opening ceremony will kick off Day 0 of this year’s EXIT. At the Tesla Universe stage, the audience will be able to belt out the lyrics to the catchy “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” by Baby Lasagna, which has captivated Europe. Alongside him, Iniko, Burak Yeter feat. Dimash Qudaibergen, Whyte Fang, Keni Nije Mrtav, and Serbia’s Eurovision representative, Teya Dora, will perform. Joining them is another contestant from last year’s Eurovision – Luke Black.

Almost everyone on the planet has heard of the almighty Dutchman Wim Hof. The man who toyed with science, leaving many learned people speechless by exposing himself to extremely low temperatures and swimming in frozen waters, relying solely on breathing techniques and the power of the mind, is coming to Novi Sad for the opening of EXIT! 

During the day, he will deliver a speech at Loft Štrand to mark the start of the EXIT festival, awakening the superpowers we all carry within us and sharing some of his experiences and knowledge, with the consumption of EXIT’s Kakao Я:Evolution completing the process. With this, EXIT and Ada Divine Awakening become the first festivals in the world to offer young people a healthier, more conscious, and completely organic way to have fun, with the healing power of music and the benefits of the ancient cacao plant, a natural source of incredible energy and pure happiness hormones.

Wim Hof himself will enjoy the magical beverage while talking about how his Wim Hof Method (WHM) has fascinated the entire planet, especially when he started drawing attention to how exposing the body to low temperatures and immersion in icy water contributes to both mental and physical health. These are the topics he discussed when collaborating with the world’s best tennis player, the pride of Serbia, Novak Djokovic, who is also a proponent of nontraditional health care methods, including cold water immersion.

Novak isn’t the only one who has shared experiences with Hof. His knowledge has been absorbed by other world-famous personalities such as Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Patrice Evra, and the methods he established are practiced by David Beckham, Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow… the list goes on. 

Later, the opening ceremony moves to the Petrovaradin Fortress, where the awakening of superpowers in every sense will continue. Attendees will have a chance to hear Stefanos Sifandos, Oren Harris, and the Music of Hope project – a charitable program honored by UNESCO, which provides every child with the opportunity to receive free education through music.

This will officially kick off the EXIT festival this year and Day 0 on the main Tesla Universe stage, where the audience can sing “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” in unison with the uncrowned winner of this year’s Eurovision – Baby Lasagna. Besides him, Iniko, Burak Yeter feat. Dimash Qudaibergen, Whyte Fang, Keni Nije Mrtav, and Serbia’s representative at this year’s Eurovision, Teya Dora, will take the stage. The latest to join this stellar roster is Luke Black, another Eurovision star who represented Serbia at the competition last year.

If you missed the chance to register for free entry on Day 0 or bought a four-day festival ticket after the registration deadline (June 17), EXIT has some good news! If you come to the main entrance at the Petrovaradin Fortress by 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10, you will be granted access

From July 10 to 14, a unique stellar tribe will gather at the Petrovaradin Fortress, eagerly awaiting performances by some of the world’s biggest stars from the vast and colorful genre palette that this year’s EXIT festival brings.
