The EXIT to Montenegro festival has successfully wrapped up its inaugural chapter in Ulcinj, drawing an impressive crowd of over 50,000 attendees to Velika Plaลพa (Big Beach).
Over three nights, the festival transformed the scenic coastal area into a vibrant hub for electronic music, featuring a lineup of acclaimed international and regional artists. Performers included Monolink, Jamie Jones, Stephan Bodzin, Konstantin Sibold, Fiona Kraft, Space Motion, and Deer Jade, among many others. The event successfully kicked off the summer season in early July, significantly boosting tourism in the region.
Beyond the main stage performances, the festival offered a multifaceted experience. Attendees enjoyed daytime programs on the beaches, an impressive kitesurfing spectacle, and continued the festivities into the early morning hours with sets from artists like Maceo Plex. The atmosphere was further enhanced by a monumental sculpture displaying the message "Students are winning," a nod to the energy and spirit of the original EXIT movement.
The festival's concept, EXIT to Montenegro, aims to integrate with its surroundings, breathing life into the natural landscape. This was evident in the blend of adrenaline, sport, nature, and music, exemplified by the kitesurfing event at Nomade beach, which painted the sky above the coast.
Following the success in Ulcinj, the festival's adventure continues. The second chapter of EXIT to Montenegro is scheduled to take place in Beฤiฤi from August 28 to 31, promising a grand finale to the summer's music wave along the Montenegrin coast.
