Petrovaradin Fortress has many underground tunnels as well (16 km of underground countermine system).
Location spices up festival’s atmosphere while its acoustics, allow different events and gigs to take place one next to another, without sound interference. After centuries of turbulent history, today the Fortress is on the list of protected monuments, being the historical, cultural and artistic center of Novi Sad.
From the fortress the visitors are presented with the view of the second largest city in Serbia, Novi Sad, founded in 1694 which is located on the opposite bank. During the city's long history, it has maintained its multi-cultural identity. Today, Novi Sad is an industrial and financial centre of the Serbian economy, as well as a cultural hub.
The city of Novi Sad also has lots to offer visitors with a rich history along with a bustling cafe and hospitality culture.
Stages

Main Stage of the Exit festival is situated at the very heart of Petrovaradin Fortress, with its capacity of over 35,000 people.
Every year Main Stage welcomes artists from all music genres that have influenced the history of music. Exit’s Main Stage is dedicated to supporting diversity and different views of the world. Along with popular performers, it also features the electronic acts in the After 2AM sessions, which have become a trademark of the festival, allowing the party to continue until dawn.

Dance Arena - Sunrise is just the beginning
The second largest Exit festival stage is also one of the biggest dance arenas in the whole Europe with its capacity of 25,000.
The Dance Arena is known for its position within a moat of the fortress walls, supports all forms of dance music and differs from most other open-air festival as it starts in the evening playing right through to sunrise.
In previous years the Dance Arena has hosted almost all of the most influential world DJ's and producers such as: Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Sharam, Francois K, Tiga, Axwell, Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Darren Emerson, Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles, Eric Prydz, Eric Morillo, Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, James Zabiela, Nic Fanciulli, Adam Beyer, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge, David Morales, Sander Kleinenberg, Marshall Jefferson, Roger Sanchez, Timo Maas, LTJ Bukem, Felix The Housecat, David Guetta etc.
Explosive Stage - Extreme stage for extreme people
The place where a hard sound is found: Metal, HC, Punk. The most extreme of all the stages in the festival, Explosive Stage presents bands from all over the world.
Previously hosting the likes of Napalm Death, U.D.O., Death Angel, The Exploited, The Business, Agnostic Front, Sham 69, Satyricon, Max Cavalera & Danny Lilker, Suicidal Tendencies, Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Decapitated, Keep of Kalessin, Walls of Jericho, Cathedral, Deathstars, Sabaton, Tiamat, 69 Eyes, My Dying Bride, Kataklysm, Arkona,...
During four days packed with live performances, some of the most famous and probably the most controversial bands are to go out on this stage, accompanied by numerous domestic and regional acts.
Fusion Stage
For many years now, Fusion Stage has been the very soul of the festival. One of the biggest stages, in time it has become a gathering point for people of all ages, nations and music tastes. For eleven years Fusion has been that place at Exit where concerts go non-stop, where bands play till up to six in the morning, and performers get to see the sunrise with the audience. This stage played host to some of the most prominent rock, pop alternative performers, domestic and regional, but many European and worldly as well. Fusion is a stage where many struggling bands gave their first performances to a wider audience.
Suba Stage
The aim and reason behind the existence of the stage is paying respect to one of the most recognized world artists who originated from Novi Sad, a producer, composer, multi instrumentalist and a researcher, Mitar Subotic - Suba. This is done through performances of his collaborators and friends, but also many new music travelers, adventurers and researchers. Shortly, this stage is dedicated to all those who expand musical horizons, opening new frontiers and connecting different worlds. Those who mix genres, create new ones, those who experiment, just as Suba did.
Happynovisad Stage - The second largest electronic music stage
Happynovisad Stage is the second largest electronic stage at the festival, and a place that has for years now been gathering alternative electronic performers. Positioned behind Dance Arena, Happynovisad Stage came into life in 2005, as a logical next step which greatly-visited web portal happynovisad.com could take. For twelve years now, this portal has been promoting alternative music directions and the latest pop culture news. In December 2010, Happynovisad started live video streaming, the gathering place for local and regional DJs.
Elektrana Stage
Elektrana stage at Exit Festival came into being 2005, with a desire to present the festival audience with the up-and-coming domestic and regional electro scene. During all these years, Elektrana has been supporting young music creators, as well as those performers who hadn’t yet been to Serbia with presenting electro, electro-pop and synth-pop acts. Elektrana promotes principles of equality and tolerance, where everyone is free to demonstrate their attitude and affections.
Exit Village
Exit Village is a gathering place for Exit visitors, both domestic and foreign, located at Petrovaradinska ada and Oficirac beach on the Petrovaradin Danube bank. Exit Village has a capacity of more than 10 000 visitors, consisting of the sleeping part, located at the young poplar forest, and a fun part, located at the Oficirac, one of the many beaches in Novi Sad.
Over the years, Exit Village has been a meeting point and a place to relax for campers all over the world. It is situated 15 minutes on foot from the festival and it is well-conected to bus and railway station, as well as the rest of the city of Novi Sad. All the campers are to bring their own camping equipment, since there are no tents to rent on site. Exit Village usually has two stages on the beach, foodland, beach bars, as well as car park for all the festival visitors who arrive by car.
Exit Online Label
Exit Label was created in February 2009 as a response to a progressive way of distribution of music, with a desire to offer local and regional performers better promotion through free download and live performances on Exit festival. Exit provides talented musicians with systematic support, using its existing logistics and promotional campaigns. In two years Exit Online Label issued 20 albums available for free download on exitmusic.rs, with more than 700 000 downloads of entire albums and 250 000 downloads of individual songs. Exit Label continues to represent artists of local and regional music scene and to actively promote the musicians from this area.

The foundation supports student efforts to catch up with advanced scientific research trends and high professional standards at the international level in science, culture and sports.

History by years – short info and list of most important artists
Exit 00
The inaugural installment of Exit was held around 100 days throughout the summer of 2000 on various stages set up between University of Novi Sad's Faculty of Philosophy building and the Danube's left bank. Initially the festival had a pronounced political component, representing, in effect, another form of anti-Milošević protest. Although, due to fear of regime repression, its activism was thinly veiled under the guise of merely getting the youth interested in political process, the festival's ties with Otpor! and other forces pushing for the regime change were clear to all that attended.
Through multiple appearances by domestic bands like Darkwood Dub, Orthodox Celts, Eyesburn, Van Gogh, Atheist Rap, Deca loših muzičara, as well as a wide variety of art performances, the crowds were encouraged to get involved. The festival ended a couple of days before the September 24, 2000 Federal Presidential election, which ended up becoming the first step in the government's overthrow.
The slogan of the festival was: "Exit out of ten years of madness", a reference to the Milošević regime.[original research?]
Exit 01
EXIT crossed the Danube to move into the historic site, Petrovaradin fortress. The 2001 festival (July 6 to July 14) was set as the celebration of Serbia finally being rid of Milošević, as well as of the country opening up to the world again after years of international isolation. This year's event also went under the name “Exit - Noise Summer Fest”.
It was cut down to the more focused and manageable nine days with foreign acts Finley Quaye, Banco de Gaia, Kosheen, Tony Allen, ManCHILD, Maximum Roach, 4hero, etc. rocking the Main and DJ stages. Still, equally, if not more exciting for the Serbian crowds was an opportunity to again see the acts from other parts of ex-Yugoslavia like Darko Rundek or KUD Idijoti that not too long before that started touring Serbia again after staying away for close to a decade.
This was also the year when the festival organizers started to carve out its musical profile. With the Main Stage reserved for most commercially appealing acts (both foreign and domestic), they also introduced the DJ and Rock stages, clearly indicating the festival would be open to all kinds of music.
In addition to music, 2001 Exit featured drama performances from different regional theatres, as well as workshops and socio-political roundtables discussing issues like reconciliation among the nations of former Yugoslavia.
Exit 02
Exit's 2002 edition (July 5 - July 13) mantra was “Serbia, are you ready for the future?". Though it brought plenty of fresh DJ talents like David Morales, Darren Emerson, LTJ Bukem, Lottie, Marshall Jefferson, Erick Morillo, as well as Main Stage acts like Asian Dub Foundation, Transglobal Underground, Fun-Da-Mental, Smoke City, Blue States, etc., Exit 02 featured many of the already seen performers like Tony Allen, ManCHILD, Banco de Gaia, Darko Rundek, Roni Size, Van Gogh, and Love Hunters.
Exit 03
Exit 03 was staged from July 3 to July 6, 2003. Organizers heeded the previous public advice by giving the festival a major organizational and conceptual makeover. It was shortened down to four days along with a new 'State of Exit' marketing campaign. Additionally, they also did away with most of the non-musical content, marking the beginning of festival's commercial shift. Justifiably, the line-up was much more mass-audience friendly with acts like Rollins Band, Tricky, Moloko, Stereo MCs, Dirty Vegas, Chumbawamba, Soul II Soul, Shane MacGowan, Misty in Roots, Pete Tong, Jeff Mills, Rambo Amadeus, Mizar along with old favorites Roni Size, Darren Emerson, Lottie, etc.
Exit 04
The lead up to EXIT 04 (July 1–4, 2004) was almost as eventful as the 4-day event itself. After some controversy wrongfully accusing organizers of embezzlement, the festival was allowed to continue after it looked like being cancelled.
This year saw MTV attend the festival, broadcast live segments to the world, as well shot a documentary on the festival and Novi Sad and support awareness campaign on human trafficking. The British music press also discovered the festival, resulting in some very positive reviews in NME.[3]
Exit 04 introduced Balkan Fusion stage for the variety of regional acts. The Main Stage was reserved for headliners Massive Attack, Soulfly, Iggy and the Stooges, Cypress Hill as well as Brand New Heavies, Goldfrapp, The Wailers, Peaches, Rambo Amadeus, Partibrejkers, Darkwood Dub, Obojeni Program, Adam Freeland, 4hero, Neneh Cherry, and especially reunited for-one-night-only 1980s Novi Sad favourites Luna.
DJ stage featured some big names like Speedy J, Timo Maas, Sander Kleinenberg, Roger Sanchez, Howie B, X-Press 2, Ken Ishii, etc., while the aforementioned Balkan stage saw the return of new-look Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša after a 3-year absence, and a performance by perhaps the most unlikely EXIT participant ever - Zvonko Bogdan.
Exit 05
In 2005 (July 7 to July 10), Exit received a further media boost when BBC Radio 1 announced it would be covering the festival live. With a DJ crew of Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, Gilles Peterson, and Fabio descending upon Novi Sad, British listeners as well as the BBC's worldwide audience were able to hear live broadcasts from the festival site. MTV also returned for the second year in a row.
As for the music itself, the line up consisted of headliners such as Apocalyptica, Garbage, The White Stripes, and Fatboy Slim, Ladytron, Overdrive, Slayer, Underworld, Ian Brown, The Datsuns, Carl Cox, Felix da Housecat, DJ Marky & DJ Patife, 2 Many DJs, Sasha, and regional acts Edo Maajka, Disciplin A Kitschme, Laibach, etc.
