"We are very excited about this news and the opportunity to finally celebrate life together with our audience from the whole world! Considering all the difficulties we have been facing for over a year, we already feel that the Big bang of positive energy will create new dimension of the festival experience and make this year's EXIT unique in the history of the festival. However, we must remain responsible in the coming months and we're calling for all of our visitors who have the opportunity to get vaccinated before the festival, as no matter what, the health and safety of all visitors, artists and the crew is our top priority" said Dušan Kovačević, founder and CEO of the EXIT festival.
Serbia is currently one of the leading European countries when it comes to mass vaccination with highest percentage in
Europe when it comes to people who have had both shots. Serbia has also been praised as the only country in the world where its citizens can choose between the different vaccine manufacturers from around the world and it's the only country where non-residents can apply for vaccination. So far, Serbia has vaccinated tens of thousands of foreigners from all over
Europe for free and they will continue with this practice. "We will also assist all our visitors who don't have the opportunity to get vaccinated soon in their home countries, if they wish to apply for vaccination in Serbia. We will announce more information about that in upcoming period", concluded Kovačević.
All of this will enable the grand celebration of EXIT's 20thth anniversary to take place from 8h till the 11 July 2021. The venue is once again the world-famous Petrovaradin Fortress, one of the largest medieval fortresses in
Europe with a unique view of the river Danube and city of Novi Sad. The Exit team will reveal new acts confirmed for the line up next week, who will find their place over 40 stages and zones all over the fortress.
