ERYKAH BADU ENCHANTS NOVI SAD!
One more EXIT Saturday is behind us. This means that the most visited EXIT night will be remembered by the volume of people, intense emotions and inability to access some stages due to packed stages with hungry, satisfied and smiling fans who left the fortress in the early hours. Was Saturday indeed a culmination of this festival, or just an overture for the grandious performance by Guns'n'Roses - we will see when the night falls!
In case you missed something, videos from last three nights can be found in the media section on the right side of the page, as well as Exit's official YouTube channel, and check out the photos on Flickr.
The first performers' impressions can also be followed at our Twitter profiles, at twitter.com/exitfestival and twitter.com/exitlive
The concert which marked the entire festival was, of course, the performance of the Soul queen - Erykah Badu, which left her fans and even accidental passengers speechless. Before her, the stage got hot from the performances by Suicidal Tendencies and Plan B, who mastered the art of a great gig. Jelen Fusion Stage was rocked by the Hardcore act Hatebreed, and as expected, Sodom excelled on the Main Stage, who completely filled up the place where Explosive is set, so that the entrances had to be closed!
Mt:s Dance Arena once again proved to be one of the greatest dance floors in this part of the world. After the excellent Azari & III, we saw the performances from the Dance music pussycat - Miss Kittin, and Richie Hawtin signalled the sunrise with his uncompromising set, which was later on taken over in a more commercial way by Claude VonStroke. One more night at mt:s Dance Arena, which could suck out the last atom of strength for many relentless clubbers if the morning didn't bring refreshing breath of air!
This is what last night's stars tweeted:

BIG UP the #moshpitcrew at #ExitMainStage & all you people catching live @ExitFestival action on @youtube #Exit2012 @ExitLive thank you!
Tonight, we are eagerly expecting the long-awaited Guns N' Roses concert. The legendary Guns are coming to EXIT Festival with six trucks full with stage equipment. This morning, rebuilding of the Main Stage was started. For the first time in EXIT history, the Main Stage will be changed for a performer, so the stage itself will be bigger and different! The overture is reserved for Žene kese, Partibrejkers and Wolfmother, and due to the fact that the legendary rockers announced a 3-hour gig, the performers who were supposed to play the After 2 program, Skream and Goldie, were moved to Happynovisad Stage!
Jelen Fusion stage will welcome Little Dragon, Citizens! and Buraka Som Sistema, while the headliners at the Explosive stage will be the legendary Crossover Thrash act Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. Suba hosts Bestival twinning product, Playground Syndicate, and Elektrana will be shaken by the Italian Electro-Dance act Franz & Shape.
mt:s Dance Arena is welcoming the Pendulum crew, Knife Party and Laurent Garnier with his tour crew L.B.S, while the festival will traditionally be closed by the most attractive club trio in Serbia Nastić&Milićević&Milosavljević. This is the goodbye party of every EXIT Festival, and the last stop before going home. Red card for all those missing!
Also, don't forget a full live festival broadcast via social networks: On your mobile phones, computers and festival video beams you will have a full report on what is going on at the festival. From headliners' thoughts on EXIT, Novi Sad and the crowd, through high quality video footage and fresh photos, to live video streaming at http://youtube.com/EXITFestivalTV, so we are inviting you to be a part of it too!
See you in the morning at the Dance Arena!
