EXIT Festival–Where hedonism meets activism. This year’s fest has added some huge heavy hitters to its 2016 lineup, including Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, James Zabiela and more. That’s in addition to the already stacked lineup featuring headliners like Grammy-nominated singer, Ellie Goulding, Bastille, and rapper Wiz Khalifa, among other artists across all genres. This year, EXIT Festival will take place from July 7-10 and host some of the biggest acts, along with up and coming stars. For an independent festival, EXIT has amassed a substantial amount of fans throughout its last 15 years. Its popularity is partly because of the insane talent they bring each year, but the picturesque setting doesn’t hurt. The festival is held in The Petrovaradin Fortress of Novi Sad, Serbia on an 18th century fortress on the Danube River. I mean, what other festivals can claim such a unique grounds? On top of the scenic backdrop, awesome lineup, are the affordable ticket prices. There is no reason not to attend. Exit Festival is only the beginning to an unforgettable adventure–EXIT Magic Adventure.
This year’s latest Exit lineup additions are unexpectedly epic and we can’t wait to experience their sets, along with the rest of the talent set to take the stage at this year’s legendary EXIT Festival.
EXIT FESTIVAL 2016 // ADDED ARTISTS
Check out the Tomorrowland madness below to see what you’re in store for. Add the new and improved arena and scenic nature of the festival itself and this one’s a no brainer.
On Friday, July 8, the Dance Arena welcomes another act—one with vertiginous popularity making his debut for the first time in this region, the Italian tech-house duo better known as Mind Against, signed for the giants “Life & Death” who gave us yet another Italian DJ duo, Tale of Us. Deeper notes on the Arena on Friday are reserved for an extremely rare act, a b2b duo, which consists of the Argentinian maestro Hernan Cattaneo and the Spanish innovator Henry Saiz—a set you will NOT want to miss. Thus, preparing all of us, as well as the venue itself this year to a state of overload, when the impeccable mix virtuoso, James Zabiela, will undoubtedly take charge over the deck! One of the hottest tracks today, “How Deep is Your Love” will surly echo loudly through the Arena with the addition of the co-authors (along with Calvin Harris) of the smash hit, the London trio Disciples, also known for their impeccable deep-house sets and wild production.
These additions to the bill are sure to have you singing along ecstatically, filling the Arena with an indescribable energy characteristic of EXIT.
