GALA - Freed From Desire live at EXIT 2025

What unfolded on stage was more than sound, it was a shared pulse. A moment so powerful that the feeling of connection spoke louder than words, a quiet strength felt in every breath. Thousands moved as one, connected by something greater than themselves. In that unity, we found a force no single voice could carry, something that lifted us beyond the music and made the moment last forever.

A powerful reminder of what we can do when we stand together. ❤️

THANK YOU GALA, we made history!

EXIT is the two-time winner of the “Best Major European Festival” award and is continuously recognized by global music stars, fans, and the media alike.

Held each year at the 18th century colossal Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad in Serbia, EXIT started as a student movement whose massive protests brought down the oppressive regime in Serbia. EXIT became the first mass event to gather people from all over the Balkans after a long decade of divisions.

In 2025, EXIT Festival celebrated its monumental 25th anniversary with over 200,000 visitors from around the world, continuing its tradition as one of Europe’s leading and most diverse music festivals. Held from July 10th to 13th at the historic Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia, this edition stood out not only for its musical brilliance but also for its cultural and social significance.

This year’s EXIT delivered a lineup for the ages. Punk legends Sex Pistols (featuring Frank Carter), electronic pioneers The Prodigy, and global dance icon Tiësto headlined a program that spanned genres and generations. The electronic music scene pulsed with energy thanks to unforgettable sets by Amelie Lens, Eric Prydz, DJ Snake, Nina Kraviz, Solomun, I Hate Models, Hot Since 82, Indira Paganotto, Sara Landry and many others. The DIYNAMIC Take-Over led by Solomun was a standout moment, uniting thousands on the Dance Arena in a euphoric celebration of underground sound.

Celebrated as a place where hedonism meets activism, it is the social relevance of EXIT that has made it unique and globally recognized, hosting stars like Pet Shop Boys, Billy Idol, The Cure, The Killers, Guns N’ Roses, Franz Ferdinand, Motörhead, Iggy Pop, David Guetta, Massive Attack, Liam Gallagher, Grace Jones, Fatboy Slim, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, The Prodigy, Migos, Sex Pistols, Kraftwerk, Korn, Moby, Arctic Monkeys, Chemical Brothers, Faith No More, LCD Soundsystem, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Pulp, Jamiroquai, M.I.A., Slayer, Ellie Goulding, Hardwell, Avicii, and many others.

EXIT’s Dance Arena is considered as one of the best and biggest dance floors in the world. Situated between the massive fortress walls, the mecca of electronic music welcomed so far Carl Cox, Paul Kalkbrenner, Eric Prydz, Black Coffee, Nina Kraviz, Solomun, Bonobo, Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, Charlotte de Witte, Artbat, Jeff Mills, Peggy Gou, and many, many more!

So far, EXIT hosted a worldwide audience of over 3 million visitors from 120 different countries.
