Created in 2000, as a protest against Slobodan Milosovic, this festival draws more than 200,000 techno and rock music lovers every year. Moby, Kraftwerk and The Prodigy will all be there this year for the 10th anniversary celebration of the event. It takes place this weekend in an old in the city centre.
Here are a couple of blogs from TravelPodders who’ve been in the past:
Roamingmonk at Serbia's Exit Festival, last year
What a venue! 17 stages set in the grounds of an old fortress on a hill on the banks of the Danube. Stages were set in the old squares, in the moats, and through tunnels to different areas so it felt like being at several music festivals at once. Brad and I were umming and arring as to whether we should come as we knew it would be pretty hard core, and as the events don’t kick off from about 8pm until 8am (yes, like being on Perth time zone without actually being in Perth!), we thought we might be a little too old and craving our beds by the time the main acts came on! – Roamingmonk

The music goes from indie through to dance via some local folk and Mongolian throat singers (it is rather impressive – in case you were wondering). Saw various bands including the northen monkey Ian Brown – who did a good mix of his stuff and The Stone Roses tunes, and The White Stripes. We managed to miss Garbage due to perhaps the worst thunder storm I have ever had the pleasure to stand on a high building for. Decided that being high up and next to trees, speaker stacks and balloons attached to metal wire perhaps wasn’t the best way to spend the storm. – Claireandnick
