Exit Festival 2012


Για 13η συνεχή χρονιά, το Exit εξακολουθεί να αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο φημισμένα open air φεστιβάλ του παγκόσμιου μουσικού χάρτη και ένα από τα αγαπημένα του ελληνικού κοινού! Για πρώτη φορά φέτος, οι έλληνες fans έχουν την ευκαιρία να προμηθευτούν το εισιτήριο τους σε προνομιακή τιμή κατευθείαν από την Ελλάδα και να απολαύσουν μία μοναδική φεστιβαλική εμπειρία, μόλις λίγα χιλιόμετρα μακριά, στη γειτονική Σερβία!

Από τις 12 έως τις 15 Ιουλίου - στο ιστορικό φρούριο Petrovaradin, χτισμένο στις όχθες του ποταμού Δούναβη, με εκπληκτική θέα πάνω από την πόλη του Νόβι Σαντ-  το Exit θα φιλοξενήσει πάνω από 500 καταξιωμένους αλλά και ανερχόμενους καλλιτέχνες από κάθε μουσικό χώρο και κάθε σημείο της γης!

Στα 20 stage του φεστιβάλ, εκτός από τις μουσικές σκηνές, το κοινό έχει την ευκαιρία να βρεθεί σε χώρους διαλέξεων, ταινιών, performance και να «αράζει» σε chill out zones και VIP areas. Επί 4 ολόκληρες ημέρες, οι συναυλίες και ο χορός διαρκούν μέχρι τις πρώτες πρωινές ώρες, ενώ η μαγευτική ατμόσφαιρα του μεσαιωνικού κάστρου, η ενέργεια του Exit village (το κάμπινγκ-meeting point του φεστιβάλ, στις όχθες του Δούναβη, όπου το πάρτι δεν σταματά ποτέ!) αλλά και η ιδιαίτερη ομορφιά του Novi Sad, συμπληρώνουν την όλη εμπειρία και κατατάσσουν το Exit στο χάρτη με τους κορυφαίους καλοκαιρινούς φεστιβαλικούς προορισμούς!

Στη φημισμένη για την ενέργεια της αλλά και την τοποθεσία της (μέσα στην τάφρο του φρουρίου) dance arena θα παρελάσουν djs και παραγωγοί που έδωσαν νέα πνοή στην σύγχρονη ηλεκτρονική χορευτική σκηνή, όπως είναι ο πρωτοπόρος της γαλλικής electronica, Laurent Garnier με το νέο του club project-δυναμίτη L.B.S. που σημαίνει Laurent Garnier (DJ & machines), Benjamin Rippert (keyboards) και Stephane "Scan X" Dri (machines), ο κορυφαίος εκφραστής της minimal techno, Richie Hawtin, ο εμπνευστής της latin-electronica, Luciano, ο ηγέτης του Detroit techno, Kenny Larkin, οι electro pioneers, Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kittin και το «νέο αίμα» Reboot live, Azari & III live, Art Department, κ.α..

EXIT are on a roll with more acts being announced and even more still to come.  First up are pop legends Duran Duran, who will kickstart the opening night of the festival performing on the main stage with original band members John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon.

Showcasing songs from their most recent, critically-acclaimed album All You Need is Now, alongside iconic hits such as Girls On Film, Rio, Planet Earth, Hungry Like The Wolf, The Reflex, Notorious, Come Undone and Ordinary World.

Having defined the MTV generation and taking music videos to another level with exotic locations, beautiful girls and stunning special effects, Duran Duran have sold over 80 million records, won numerous awards and continue to be at the forefront of musical innovation. For the first time at EXIT old and new fans will come together to experience the wild boys in action.  See their unmissable show on Thursday 12th July. Watch the video for Girl Panic! here featuring the original supermodels - Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon, Eva Herizgova and Cindy Crawford

"All of us at EXIT are thrilled beyond words that Duran Duran will be playing at this year’s festival. So many memorable hits to look forward to along with new material from their recent album should stamp 2012 as another defining moment for EXIT" said EXIT General Manager Bojan Boskovic.

Over on the Fusion Stage one of Scandinavia’s best indie bands, Little Dragon will perform on Sunday 15th July providing the best tonic in the form of Swedish electro pop act Little Dragon. A four-piece band, headed by the astonishing vocals of Japanese-Swedish singer Yukimi Nagano. Little Dragon have released 3 studio albums – with the most recent Ritual Union (2011), earning rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Rolling Stone magazine describes the album “hits a sweet spot between the futuristic soul of their debut and the synth pop of 2009's Machine Dreams“. There is no disputing the combination of Nagano’s dazzling voice and collaborations with eclectic artists including Gorillaz, DJ Shadow and SBTRKT, serve to confirm the groups rising popularity and their set is not to be missed.

More underground and serving up the finest cutting edge electronica the HappyNoviSad Stage presents the R&S Records showcase, featuring Lone, Pariah, Teengirl Fantasy Live and The Chain. The British duet, Teengirl Fantasy, have achieved numerous successes in only three years with their single from the album 7AM, named Cheaters, which was was named Single of the Year by Fact Magazine, and toured with the grand Crystal Castles. Lone aka Matt Cutler has released four albums and 5 EPs in only five years with his most significant work Lemurian, released in 2008. The critics described the album as a sensual release with a distinctive identity.

Matt Cutler is also active in a project named Kona Triangle. Under the moniker Pariah hides the dubstep and future garage producer Arthur Cayzer, who released his single, Detroit Falls, as well as an EP, Safehouses on R&S Records. He is also famous for remixing tracks for the The xx and Erykah Badu. Alongside his colleague, James Blake, Pariah has received praises from very influential media such as Pitchfork and Resident Advisor, and is being considered one of the most important producers of Britain’s new wave of dance music, identified by many as post-dubstep. Concluding the list, we are proud to welcome another name of R&S Records’ - The Chain, aka London producers Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy.

And that's not all as the Elektrana Stage welcomes the Australian act Sneaky Sound System consisting of the guitarist and producer Black Angus, and the singer Connie Mitchell. Their most recent hits From Here To Anywhere, Big, Really Want To See You Again and We Love are still renowned in Oz. During their career, the band has also collaborated with worldwide stars such as DJ Tiesto, Azari&III, KiNK and many others.
