Organizers of spectacular music festival are trying to please everyone`s music taste year after year, and this year`s choice of performers can meet all expectations considering the best fun at the fortress so far.

Besides them, hundreds of other artists, who marked the last year with their work and success, will perform.


The most popular world magazines the Guardian, the Mirror and the Vogue announced this year`s selection of performers only with the words of praise, and the BBC has recently published: "This programme speaks for itself and firmly puts Exit among the best festivals in the world". These announcements were taken as a great compliment for the effort in creating the guest list. Euphoria around the musical spectacle extends, among the local media and celebrities as well. Unanimously, everyone is compliant - Exit 2017 is special, stronger and better than ever!


Last year, the Italian Vogue wrote that this festival is "an institution of world festival scene". Fashion Bible or British Vogue declared Exit to be one of the top ten festivals in Europe. In the introduction to the text on musical events, the magazine wrote that festivals can often take place in inaccessible and uncomfortable places, alluding to the standard locations for music events in the home country. It is quite logical to conclude that the Petrovaradin Fortress is more than beautiful venue for such events. Vogue additionally emphasizes this year's theme of the Exit and invites its readers to embrace the Year of Love inspired with the 60's of the last century on the banks of the Danube, and to replace the famous British Glastonbury Festival with warmer climate and more beautiful views. The Petrovaradin Fortress, described as "inspiring, colorful and magnificent" is perfect in the famous sunsets on the top dance arena. It is impressive that the authors did not skip the facts about the formation of the festival, and they directed their audience in the following manner: "Launched almost 20 years ago and formed from the struggle of students for democracy in Serbia, acting as a safe zone for the former Yugoslav republics after a decade of civil war". Further in the text, they praise the natural beauty of the Danube and the position of the campsite that is located on its biggest beach and they suggest the obligatory bathing between festival events.

In the text dedicated to the programme of the Exit 2017 Summer of Love, the British Guardian wrote: "No, this is not your list of musical wishes, these are the headliners of the Exit Festival in Serbia", while the highly read Mirror described performers as "blockbuster headliners" and the Exit "A festival you will not forget quite a long time."

Local celebrities do not hide excitement before the beginning of the festival. The actress Anica Dobra confirmed her arrival on the fortress and she is coming primarily because of the band the Killers. Marko Nastic, one of our most popular DJs and Nemanja Kostic, programme director of Play Radio, define the line up for this year as the best ever.


Viktor Savic, a well-known actor and great fan of quality entertainment, is looking forward to seeing guest appearances at the biggest dance floor - dance arena. For him, this is a special experience because world A-list DJs are coming to Serbia. A famous lady in the world of electronic music, Tijana Todorovic says that citizens are not aware of what they have in their country - "If you believe someone who has been in music business for 17 years and the last 3 is on tour around the world, believe me that Exit is indeed very, very special."
