EXIT FESTIVAL 10th ANNIVERSARY
PETROVARADIN FORTRESS
NOVI SAD, SERBIA
9th – 12th JULY 2009
EXIT Festival is delighted to announce that in celebration of the
festival’s 10th Anniversary they will be reuniting some of the best
and most popular DJs to have performed over the years, for
exclusive and back to back sets. Yes, that’s right! DJs will be
collaborating and playing back to back with each other!
While many a DJ have played b2b before, this feat has not been done
to such a massive scale anywhere before. Each night, DJs from the
past 10 years will be playing against each other and creating the
biggest birthday bash known in the history of dance music! Some of
the collaborations for Dance Arena may very well surprise and they
are sure excite! And above all, it’s going to be one hell of a party!
Celebrating a decade in dance, this will be a monumental landmark in
the festival’s history and is guaranteed to set the festival’s birthday
off in fire-starting, floor thumping style! The first sets to be
announced are; Carl Cox vs Green Velvet, Sasha vs John Digweed
and Richie Hawtin vs Dubfire with more tasty collaborations to be
announced.
The tour de force Dance Arena has already earned itself a solid
reputation and is highly regarded by many as the best in Europe, if
not the planet. The experience of dancing with 20,000 people as the
sun rises over the fortress walls is truly mind blowing. The only
place in Europe – or indeed the world – that offers such an
electrifying experience, the EXIT Dance Arena promises to be the
hotspot of the clubbing world this summer, with exclusive
performances from the world’s most revered DJ’s that you won’t see
anywhere else.
Renowned for its diverse and adventurous line ups, EXIT
encompasses all genres of music from rock to rap, classical to chill,
dance to drum & bass and electronic to experimental. Over 600
performances will take place on 25 stages connected by cobbled
streets, ramparts and tunnels – a walk through the historical and
awe-inspiring fortress is like a trip through a portal, where the
modern world unites and celebrates its freedoms. The Arctic
Monkeys, Moby and Madness are the first artists to be announced for
the Main stage with more to follow.
Not only that, but the camping grounds will be new and improved!
Nestled by the river Danube within walking distance of the Fortress,
camping is open for 10 days and features a safe swimming area, a
music stage, the usual necessary amenities, stalls to buy things
you’ve forgotten, drinks, food, chill out areas and shaded areas and
all for £14 +b/f!
Launched 10 years ago as a student initiated protest against the
communist Milosevic regime at the Petrodovian Fortress, EXIT has
proved that music is a universal language that can connect and bring
people together, in a bid to make the world a better place. EXIT is a
truly amazing experience that has captured the heart of festival
goers worldwide; although it gets bigger each year, the sentiment
and unique vibe remains the same. The 10th birthday will be no
exception!

SELECTION OF DJ COMMENTS:
“Without a doubt the best gig of my career up to this point. An
amazing setting, great weather and a very large and hugely
receptive crowd made for a brilliant gig. i’m counting down the days
till i can play again.” Alex Metric
“Exit was unforgettable, the setting was spectacular, the line up was
massive, (I will never forget that dance stage sound system as long
as I live!) and the people were completely inspiring. It’s a truly
special festival.†Annie Mac (Radio 1)
‘Probably the best festival in Europe. The setting, the vibe of the
people and the production is amazing. Dare I say that it puts most of
the uk festivals to shame?’ Christian Smith
“Exit Festival was great, amazing night, played from 3am till 6.30
when the sun came up and to see so many people in a moat was
something else.†Carl Cox
“I have waited for years to come and I am so excited to be here.
Many of my colleagues in this business always told me that if you get
the chance to do Exit Festival in Serbia you gotta do it. The energy is
great and the weather is great and the hospitality has been wonderful
from the Exit festival people†Danny Tenaglia
“An absolutely amazing festival both in terms of the crowds that
came and the people behind the scenes. The setting was amazing
with the sun coming up and the sound system was intense (as
opposed to in tents which would normally be the case at a festival but
I digress), I was so happy that I could finally be a part of this and
would like to thank everyone that came along.†Dave Clarke
“Exit was held in one of the most interesting venues I have ever
played in. Along with being incredibly busy, the vibe in the place was
electric. Bringing together a very diverse crowd from across the
world and under a unified banner of truly innovative music from a
dizzying array of genres, Exit is already on course to rival some of
the top music festivals of the world.” – Dubfire
“It’s a fascinating place with a raw and recent history and It’s got a
real energy†Tom Findlay, Groove Armada
“Exit festival was definitely the highlight of my year so far. It was
truly amazing. The vibe was so positive from the people and having
Goldie jump on the microphone at the end as I played Inner City Life
(Future Funk Squad Remix) is something I’ll never forget. It was a
gig that I could’ve only dreamt about and I’ll still be buzzing from it
for years to come.” James Zabiela
“It was a fantastic experience to play at the Exit Festival this year,
the atmosphere was electric. I look forward very much to returning
to Serbia to play”. Jeff Mills

and bringing great new music one step further east!†Richie Hawtin
“The Exit festival was amazing once again. It great to see Serbia
progressing in providing a place for people from all over the world to
come together and enjoy electronic music. There were a lot more

Frankie Knuckles on the line up. i really enjoyed playing this festival
with a great crowd and wonderful organization”. Roger Sanchez
