]]>Have a Plan
You will have a tough time at a music festival if you take the “winging it” approach. We are not saying it can’t work, but it rarely does. Instead, make sure to plan for everything. Have your tickets in place, know where you’re staying, learn where the stages are, and study the setlist, so you don’t miss your favorite artists.
Prepare for Everything
Music festivals will throw all sorts of challenges at you, so you need to be prepared for everything. This means bringing extra clean clothes, extra pair of sturdy shoes, a raincoat, earplugs, toiletries, and everything else you think you might need.
Don’t Be Afraid to Be Alone
Most people visit festivals as a group, meaning that a clash of music preferences is almost inevitable. When that happens, don’t let it stop you from checking out the music acts you want to check out. There is nothing wrong with seeing a show by yourself, and festivalgoers do it regularly. This is also a great way to meet same-minded people.
Stay Hydrated
This might seem like a funny suggestion, but it will actually make a significant impact on your festival experience. You can easily forget to drink enough water at a music festival which can be a costly mistake considering the big crowds, hot weather, all the dancing, and occasional booze. So keep a bottle of water nearby and avoid the sticky situations that can result from dehydration.

]]>Exit Festival is a music festival held every July at the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia. The festival was founded in 2000 as a student movement, but has since grown into a full-blown serious 4-day event, with over 20 stages set up all across the fortresses’ many levels. The best thing about this location is the fact that the sounds from the numerous stages never mix, thanks to the structure of the fortress and its hilly terrain and sturdy walls.
The festival has won two Best Major Festival awards, one in 2013 and the second in 2017. Since the beginning, it has hosted many famous artists and bands, but in recent years the lineup has mostly focused on electronic music and bringing famous names of the DJ world, making its Dance Arena one of the strongest music stages dedicated to this genre, hosting performers such as David Guetta and Nina Krawitz.

It takes place over the course of a whole week when the entire island turns into a camping site, and the visitors get a special “Szitizen passport”.
Many day-time performances and art installations have dubbed Sziget as the European equivalent of The Burning Man.
