Those keen on camping and music who are looking for ‘exit’ form the everyday routine may find Novi Sad an interesting option for a summer vacation. It is not that the camping sites along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, at least those, who still exist, are not an appealing option, but Exit Fest can provide the campers with something more: great live music for every taste.

It claims to be the biggest music festival in South-Eastern Europe and takes place in the picturesque Petrovaradin Fortress in the Serbia’s second largest city, Novi Sad, some 400 km to the north-west of Sofia.

Since its first edition in 2000, Exit Fest had brought to its stages names like Kosheen, Roni Size, David Morales, Asian Dub Foundation, Stereo MC's, Moloko, Massive Attack, Cypress Hill, Brand New Heavies, Timo Maas, Roger Sanchez, Satoshie Tomiie, White Stripes, Garbage, Slayer, Apocalyptica, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Pet Shop Boys, Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferdinand, The Cardigans, The Cult, Billy Idol, Him, Goldie, David Guetta, Hernan Cattaneo, Snoop Dogg, The Prodigy, The Beastie Boys and Robert Plant, among others.

This year’s edition, to be held on six stages on July 10-13, also sounds promising with some 140 bands and performers arriving in Serbia for it. Deep Dish’s Dubfire ans Sharam, Kultur Shock, Manu Chao, Ministry, Sex Pistols and Sven Vath are to perform at Exit Fest 2008. The parties start in the early evenings and finish around 6am on the next morning.
