The audience can expect an unforgettable evening as global DJ superstar Jax Jones shares the stage with homegrown heroes, including one of the most in-demand performers in these parts, Baby Lasagna, as well as legends of the regional rock scene, Bajaga i Instruktori.
As is tradition, the event will take place in Strumica City Park, and admission will be free for all visitors.
With billions of streams, chart‑topping hits, and numerous prestigious nominations, Jax Jones is one of the most influential DJs and producers on today’s global music scene. Known for his catchy melodies and hits such as “You Don’t Know Me,” “Instruction,” “All Day and Night,” and “Breathe,” he has collaborated with international music stars including Raye, Demi Lovato, Mabel, Charli XCX, Saweetie, MNEK, and Calum Scott. He is the co‑author of the global hit “I Got U,” created in collaboration with Duke Dumont, which earned him a nomination for the prestigious Grammy Award, and his performance in Strumica City Park will set the tone for another summer party under an open, starry sky.
A champion of the regional music scene, Marko Purišić, a.k.a. Baby Lasagna, has in the past two years won over European audiences with unique genre‑bending experimentation and a high‑energy stage presence. He experienced a meteoric rise after participating in Eurovision 2024 with the track “Rim Tim Tagi Dim,” which received the most audience votes in the grand final.
This year’s concert season takes him from Austria’s Nova Rock and the UK’s 2000 Trees Festival, through Forestland and a performance at the Kamerlengo Fortress in Trogir, all the way to Edinburgh at the end of August, after which he arrives in Strumica, where attendees will have the chance to revisit the popular Eurovision choreography and hear his biggest hits live. Visitors to the EXIT Festival distinctly remember his spectacular Day 0 Main Stage performance last year when, in a heartfelt moment at the very end of the show, Baby Lasagna said it had been the best concert of his career and the biggest stage he had ever played.
One of the most influential and beloved bands on the regional music scene, Bajaga i Instruktori are on tour this season, and after a notable concert in Romania, their next stop is Strumica. Their performance at the Get EXITed party will bring timeless hits that have connected generations for decades, from early classics to songs that still fill stadiums today. The hits of Bajaga i Instruktori have shaped the region’s musical landscape, often preserved as special memories in the personal stories of millions, cementing their status at the very top of the regional music scene.
After the previous three editions offered audiences a rich and diverse music program, Get EXITed and the Strumica Municipality return with the same quality and momentum to present a lineup that unites a wide range of musical worlds. In recent years, Strumica has welcomed major stars from the global and regional scenes, such as John Newman, Burak Yeter, Deborah De Luca, Senidah, Mahmut Orhan, Konstrakta, Van Gogh, Lanna, 2Bone, and many others, drawing thousands of visitors.
In keeping with tradition, this year’s Get EXITed party in Strumica City Park on September 7 brings new surprises and outstanding performances. From the first beats through the early morning hours, the audience will enjoy thumping pop melodies enriched with guitar riffs and the energy of rock hits, complemented by the fresh sounds of global electronic music. The rest of the all‑night program will be announced soon.
