THE HISTORY OF EXIT FESTIVAL
This first EXIT Noise Summer Fest 2000 was one of the biggest cultural-social projects in Yugoslavia in recent years.
The relaxed, summer atmosphere on the beach with never-ending, quality music, with beach sports, reminded of Ibiza or other such similar youth-orientated summer happenings. This then gave the organisers the idea to organise a proper, large music festival that only 'serious' countries had held thus far.
Formed out of rebellion, on the field between the Faculty of Philosophy and the Danube river, this first EXIT changed the way Novi Sad natives thought as well as of the people that came to the city and showed how we fought here for a democratic and normal life. The first EXIT will to many remain in their thoughts as the best, perhaps because of its spontaneity and political background. At that time, something just had to happen, something that rose above the darkness that engulfed us and to illuminate the future. And the future had begun!
