Exit music festival relocates to Montenegro following state pressure in Serbia
The Balkan region's largest music festival, Exit, has reportedly relocated from Novi Sad, Serbia, to Montenegro following pressure from state authorities.
The Exit music festival, recognized as the largest music event in the Balkans, has reportedly moved its primary location from Serbia to Montenegro due to mounting pressure from Serbian state authorities.
Historically held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, the annual festival previously attracted up to 50,000 visitors per night across dozens of stages, featuring prominent international electronic music acts and performers. However, coverage by German public broadcasting indicates that growing friction with the Serbian government has led organizers to relocate the event across the border.
Neither Serbian state officials nor Exit festival leadership have released a public statement detailing the specific administrative or political disputes behind the move.
