EXIT FESTIVAL TO BE OPENED FROM SPACE THIS YEAR

The beginning of the festival will be marked by not one but three opening ceremonies. The first will begin with an ancient cacao ceremony accompanied by a performance from the Sarasvati Druna band at 7:30 p.m. at Pachamama stage, followed by a magical performance by sound alchemist and visionary Vylana Marcus at 9 p.m. at mts Dance Arena. The prelude to the grandest of the three ceremonies will be delivered by philanthropist, motivational speaker, and the founder of the global brand Onnit, Aubrey Marcus, at 10:30 p.m. at Gorki List Main Stage. All this will culminate in the unprecedented festival opening from space, sending a powerful message to the world!

PARKING

There is no festival car park for visitors. The nearest parking lot is across the river, before the Duga bridge, or in Petrovaradin.

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 this year – in EXIT camp, Foodland, and the festival’s OPENS State of EXIT zone. The goal is to provide festival-goers with a supportive place to rest and have a confidential conversation.
