EXIT FESTIVAL TO BE OPENED FROM SPACE THIS YEAR
In the year when it reaches the scale of the EXIT Universe, EXIT festival will kick off on Thursday, July 6, with a historical event – it will be the first-ever festival to be opened from space, in collaboration with the Committee for Space Program Development!
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!

This is where visitors can leave anything they find at the festival (ID cards, mobile phones, wallets, etc.) They can inquire about items they have lost at this counter or write an email at lostandfound@exitfest.org.
PARKING
There is no festival car park for visitors. The nearest parking lot is across the river, before the Duga bridge, or in Petrovaradin. Traffic in the surrounding streets is suspended during the festival. Driving from EXIT camp to the festival is not recommended. Due to heavy traffic on the approach to Petrovaradin Fortress and the fact that several streets in Petrovaradin are closed, driving can take much longer than walking or taking the bus.
LOCKERS
This year, festival visitors can rent small and medium-sized lockers equipped with electric outlets to store their personal belongings. Lockers can be rented at the festival in the central Foodland for one evening or all four festival nights.
FIRST AID
Red Cross crews, emergency services, and the fire department are on duty during all four nights of EXIT. 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.
EXIT INFO DESK
At any time, visitors can reach out to promoters at the information desk, conveniently located near the Gorki List Main Stage and the central Foodland.
EXIT LIVE
A live stream of selected EXIT performances will be broadcast on the Facebook page and YouTube channel. Fans will be able to see the most exciting festival moments on Instagram and TikTok, while a selection of awesome photos from EXIT 2023 will be available on our Flickr account.
