EXIT 05 was held over four days between July 7-10 2005, and was visited by over 150,000 people.
The politization of the festival
In 2004, three weeks before the festival, four of the organisers of the festival were arrested for embezzlement. It was widely assumed that there were political motives to hinder the organizers of this progressive and pro-western music festival.
In 2005, the organisers intention to dedicate the festival to the victims of Srebrenica was a thorn in the eye of the local politicians from Serbian Radical Party (SRS), who threated that this will be the last festival if its politization continue.
