The mts Dance Arena at EXIT has long been revered as the ultimate sanctuary of electronic music and the premier dance stage globally. Nestled within the colossal trenches of the Petrovaradin Fortress, it remains an essential pilgrimage for electronic music enthusiasts, not just in Serbia but all around the world. Heavyweights like Black Coffee, Carl Cox, Maceo Plex, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Klangkuenstler, Carlita, I Hate Models, and Patrick Mason, among other global titans, are set to electrify the unique mts Dance Arena with an innovative and breathtaking lineup and production that raises the bar year after year.  And that’s not all, as Friday’s special surprise lineup is yet to be revealed! 

A crucial part of any electronic music enthusiast’s journey within the Fortress's walls is the iconic NSNS Refreshed by Heineken Silver stage, which has been delivering an alternative electronic sound to fans for years. Sara Landry, Oguz, Yotto, Estella Boersma, Francis Mercier, Helena Hauff, and many others will bring their unique energies to the sleepless trench from July 11 to 14. Whether you’re into techno, house, or tech-house, EXIT has a lineup ready to satisfy every musical palate. 

"We are proud to present one of our best electronic music editions so far. Every year, we elevate both the line up and production to a higher level, so we are justifying  the reputation of being the leading dance floor in the world,"  said the founder and director of the EXIT festival, Dušan Kovačević.

On the festival's opening night, Thursday, July 11, the famous mts Dance Arena, a haven for all electronic music lovers, welcomes the most celebrated DJ of all time, hailed as a symbol of the profession itself – Carl Cox. Joining him are Berlin's DJ star and producer Klangkuenstler, pioneer of the Palestinian electronic scene Sama’ Abdulhadi, Franky Wah, and Mene!

Saturday Night Fever will come to the audience through the hypnotic sounds of Maceo Plex, a techno-inspired musical genius.

That same evening, the DJ booth will also host the star of a new generation of techno, the embodiment of disco inferno I Hate Models, who has performed in stadiums in front of 30,000 people, previously reserved only for the most prominent bands. The bass-filled trench will also welcome the incredibly eccentric techno and house wizard Patrick Mason, our rising DJ star Lanna, the futuristic fairy of the electronic scene Desna, and the energetic Katalina with her cross-genre set. 

On the final night, the legendary electronic stage will be graced by Grammy-awarded global house icon Black Coffee, a DJ and producer who has become one of the most sought-after names on the electronic scene after selling out Madison Square Garden in New York last October. Sunday at the mts Dance Arena will also feature the legendary Bonobo with his unique sonic fusion, then Barry Can’t Swim will paint a dynamic musical landscape with his nearly perfect harmonic bass lines, while the multi-instrumentalist Carlita will bring dance rhythms from the heart of the Middle East. The world’s most exceptional DJ booth will also play host to the leading DJ in the world music genre, Mose, known for his multicultural sound, and the well-known Belgrade duo INNĒR SENSE. 

Yet, the excitement doesn't end there. If you dive deeper into the sonic landscape of the Petrovaradin Fortress, pulsating with diverse genres and styles, you’ll arrive at the NSNS Refreshed by Heineken Silver stage, a must-visit spot on the map of any seasoned raver.
