EXIT Festival, one of the most renowned music events in Europe, reveals the lineup for its Dance Arena, NSNS, and Urban Bug Stages. Featuring some of the biggest names in electronic dance music, such as Amelie Lens, Indira Paganotto, Nina Kraviz, Keinemusik, Michael Bibi, Hot Since 82, Ben Böhmer (live), CamelPhat, Mind Against, Agents Of Time live, Vintage Culture, Layla Benitez, Gioli & Assia live, Avalon Emerson, Ben UFO, Patrick Mason, Carlita, Shimza, Desiree, Partiboi 69, Cici and more, the festival promises to deliver a truly unforgettable experience for music lovers from around the world.
For over 20 years, the Dance Arena at EXIT Festival has grown into a planetary phenomenon, a place that leading global media and artists have proclaimed the best electronic music stage in the world. Countless legendary nights and mornings have added their contributions each year to the creation of a place that has become much more than a stage, a piedmont of the entire scene, a magnificent temple of electronic music.
This July, the trench at Petrovaradin Fortress will shine with a special energy from July 6th to 9th due to one of its strongest editions led by the absolute number 1 of the electronic scene, Eric Prydz, whose performance has been awaited by the audience at EXIT and in Serbia for a whole decade!
He is at the head of a mega-strong list of names that will take over the Dance Arena, consisting of international heroes and heroines such as Amelie Lens, Indira Paganotto, Nina Kraviz, Keinemusik, Michael Bibi, Hot Since 82, Ben Böhmer live, CamelPhat, Mind Against, Agents Of Time live, Vintage Culture, Layla Benitez, Gioli & Assia live, and regional performers including Tijana T, Space Motion, Coeus, and Marko Nastić, who will celebrate 25 years of their work. A fresh current is also coming to the nearby, younger, and progressive sister stage, NSNS, whose main attractions are Avalon Emerson, Ben UFO, Patrick Mason, Carlita, Shimza, Desiree, Partiboi 69, and Cici.
The curiosity of this year’s festival is not only in the super-strong program but also in EXIT’s special vision for the opening and closing of the festival. Not only will the first day of the Dance Arena be completely entrusted to the direction of an all-female lineup consisting of Nina Kraviz, Amelie Lens, Indira Paganotto, Tijana T, and Miju, but it is also probably the strongest techno lineup that is possible to assemble in one place today.
The closing set of the Arena and the festival this summer will, with great excitement, be handed over to the most sought-after house collective of today – Keinemusik, who will also perform after the official program closing at the official after-party, all together for a minimum of six hours! «We will stay until Tuesday» is one of the comments on social media after the online campaign was launched to have these grandmasters close the Arena. Along with these two, one of the stages with the longest tradition at EXIT, Urban Bug stage, has also added a long list of local and regional artists to its line up.
A fantastic wave of new names closes this year’s electronic program of EXIT and joins a series of previously confirmed names coming to Novi Sad, such as The Prodigy, Wu-Tang Clan, Skrillex, Alesso, Viagra Boys, Chase & Status, Claptone, SOFI TUKKER, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, LF System, and many others. With such an incredible lineup of talent, this year’s EXIT Festival is sure to be an event not to be missed.
Tickets can be found at EXIT Festival’s website, starting from 87€ for regular and 300€ for VIP GOLD; one-day tickets are available as well.
