Exit festival, which is considered one of the most popular music festivals in the world, was created as a youth movement for democracy in Serbia 19 years ago. The development path of Exit was from one street performance to the best festival in the world.

The creator of the festival, Dusan Kovacevic, was one of the leaders of the youth resistance in the 90s. He was against the Milosevic regime. The Exit story begins with famous student protests.
