A crew of us went to exit 06, Its a 4 day festival in serbia. They were the best 4 days of my life honest. We just booked Exit 07. Tickets are 65 euro. The festival is sset in this fairy tale fortress on a hill over looking the danude and the city of novi sad. 25 stages, Any type of music you can think of, a cracking lineup. and an electric atmosphere. Its starts at 7pm doesn't finish till 11am. tents are fee!! donated by sponsers tuborg. check out www.exitfest.org. more people need to know about this. You wont go to another ****** again!

I feel safer in serbia than I do in ireland. It mad, serbians have the same humour as us. Some crack out of those boys. The women are unreal. Even the ugly ones are good looking! You know what I mean. Very friendly not stuck up like the yokes here. But all they want to do is talk.......

Hi there has anyone ever been to Exit Fest in Serbia?? Its a 4 day music like ****** and onlt costs €80 for concert ticket would be a class gig I reckon !

Alter-Ego

Never been. I was thinking of going this year but i have my heart set on werchter in belgium this summer. AFAIK you even get a free tent thrown in with your ticket.

There was a thread about it a few weeks back on here. you might be able to dig it up.

So has anyone got tickets to this thing yet?

I'm hoping to be going with a few friends while interrailling around the are, we're still waiting for camping tickets to become availalbe though,it was supposed to be today.

Does anyone know if they'll be giving out free tents again this year, the website says that you have to bring one but the sponsors, i hope, might bail us out!

looks like a great festival. have to get away from irish festivals now methinks

electric picnic lineup is such a let down. and at 220 euro id prefer to go to serbia!

That looks amazing, and at 85e ye can't go wrong. Anybody been or has anybody heard of anyone who has been?

Sounds great, but surely its sold out. And how much would flights there be, in comparison to the likes of Riga and Prague Serbia is fairly off the beaten track in terms of East European lash weekends.

Maybe next year, there is absoloutely no way my mates would afford this now (or anywhere else, Im feckin 20 and Ive never been on a lads holiday because none of them have had any cash )

EP has always been ****e if you ask me. re the forbidden festivfal, tickets waaayyy too pricey, might try sneaking in for the wu tang mainly, if i dont sure feck it, theres always a decent rave in the car park

They haven't even released the camping tickets yet, so I doubt it, they were due out on April the first...

Where is the nearest airport to this? And how much would flights be, roughly?

Thomas_S_Hunterson

The nearest airport is probably Belgrade.

There's loads of transport info on the exit website, http://eng.exitfest.org/ and they give details of tour operators who service the festival.

I'll check this out later (webpage blocked in work )
If the flights were the right price this could definitely be a goer. Not mad about going to ****** so this looks like a VERY good alternative.

Ditto.

Checked the flights - no direct flights to Belgrade it seems. You would have to fly from London, and then onto Belgrade. Flights would probably come to about €250 - €300, could do it on the cheap though, where there's a will and all that.

You could fly into Budapest as well and get a bus or train down - Aer Lingus do a direct Dub-Bud flight. Really really really really want to go, but Glastonbury and ElecPic tickets have already hit my finances hard. Swore blind I wouldn't go to the Picnic after last year's decidedly messy organisation and heavy-handed security, but got the tickets on a whim yesterday when I saw the line-up. Just started looking into Exit properly today and I'm kicking myself. It sounds amazing. DJs going till 8am!

Also considering Pohoda in Slovakia - anyone heard anything about it?

i was there in 2005, went as part of a 6th year interrailing holiday, probably the best festival you'll ever go to! It's best to fly into Budapest and get the train down, even that's some craic, was full of lunatics from all over Europe! 80 quid is a bit of a rip off though, when i went it was only 25! Don't let the fact that it's in Serbia put ya off, doesnt make a blind bit of difference. Although i dunno if i'd camp to be honest, we got a hostel and were really happy we did, the whole region gets some pretty heavy rain and the campsite was washed out while we were there, plus it can get really really hot during the day. The sooner ya go the better, when i was there the inflation rate was 100%, so things aren't getting any cheaper!

Roddy23

Whats the stroy with getting Hostels? is it far from the venue, and would you have any links. Sorry I'll check google, but if you know of any recommended hostels could you post them up.
Thanks, definitely interested.

griffdaddy

i stayed in one of the official hostels the festival has, which i think was the cheapest way to do it, as hotels are about the only thing in Serbia that can be pricey. They actually have some weird tax that allows them tax people from abroad for staying in hotels then people from Serbia. If you look at the exit website you'll find them

I just booked flights return to budapest 10th-17th of july for €200 with malev airlines. There is a bus service going from that airport to the festival. Think its €60 return and takes 4:30 hours. We booked a hotel. €225 for 7 nights. Ait con is needed when sllep durin the day. Check the forum on www.exitfest.org, there are loads of apartments for rent during the festival. As cheap as €13 per night per person.

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Still no full lineup ffs. It was due out the end of March

MiniMetro

Just booked a flight and tickets now. Looks and sounds like it's going to be savage. Flight was ~€220 one-way to Budapest with Malev airlines. Taxi's sound pretty cheap from Budapest to Novi Sad, so not going to bother with train or bus. Accommodation is the only thing still to book.

I'm probably driving down from Budapest at 3pm on 11th,
if anyone is interested in a lift..
Prob got space for 2..
