EXIT Festival, originating from the student protests in 2000, faced government pressure and loss of funding after supporting current student protests in Serbia. This led to serious threats against the festival's operations and voice. To maintain its independence and protect jobs, it initiated a global crowdfunding campaign. Supporters can donate or buy tickets through Save.Exitfest.Org to help in these efforts. The festival embodies unity against repression and emphasizes the need for solidarity in the music industry in challenging governmental constraints.
The recent EXIT Festival is of immeasurable importance - a historical moment when one music festival boldly stood up against fierce governmental pressure aimed at silencing our freedom of speech and suppressing our support for Serbia's brave students.
We stood stronger than any attempt at state repression and demonstrated that unity, solidarity and love still triumphs over fear, and that art cannot be silenced.
Through this crowdfunding campaign, we are standing up for the independence of an entire organization and the people behind it.
We strongly believe this is a moment for the music industry to unite, protect one of its own, and demonstrate that collectively it is stronger than any government in the world.
