Furious riffs will resonate through the Petrovaradin Fortress this July at EXIT Festival! Adding to the previously announced lineup, headlined by one of the most innovative guitarists of all time, the driving force behind Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, Tom Morello, and the unstoppable The Exploited, are now joined by the Cavalera brothers, founders of the legendary Sepultura, who will perform together for the first time at the fortress, bringing the essence of one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history! Also premiering are Altin Gün, a Dutch band with an international career nurturing an authentic oriental rock sound, and the global sensation from Hungary, the mega-popular Azahriah, who last year became the youngest musician ever to sell out the Budapest Sports Arena, with three sold-out concerts awaiting him at the Puskas Arena national stadium in front of more than 150,000 fans! Also, straight from their first major European tour comes the most popular regional band, Joker Out!
On the iconic Visa Fusion stage, alongside the previously announced Villagers of Ioannina City and Lakeside X, comes a powerful regional support lineup consisting of Eyesburn, Ritam nereda, and Macedonian Funk Shui, while the thundering sounds on the Explosive stage are led by American punk icons The Casualties, previously announced legendary band Coroner, making their debut appearance in Serbia, as well as Ratos de Poaro, Uada, Conflict, and a whole host of hardcore, metal, and punk bands!
The loud and distorted side of EXIT Festival just got a powerful boost – the riffs of the Sepultura anthems are to be brought by the Cavalera brothers, Iggor and Max, founders of one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history, whose album "Roots" in the nineties laid the groundwork for the nu metal sound! Max often emphasizes that he considers Serbia his second home, and it is known that the entire album "Prophecy," which he recorded with his band Soulfly, was inspired by his profound connection to Serbia. He has performed at EXIT twice, in 2004 and 2008, and this year he will be joined at the fortress for the first time by his brother Iggor Cavalera, bringing the essence of Sepultura with him! What is already known is that the legendary riffs of "Killing in the Name" will thunder from the fortress, directly from Tom Morello, co-founder and main author of most of Rage Against the Machine's albums, and the unstoppable Scottish punks, The Exploited, are also coming!
Premiering on Tesla Universe Main Stage is the oriental psychedelic rock band from the Netherlands with an international career, Altin Gün, and a fantastic prelude to their performance at EXIT are the KEXP sessions where they have already appeared twice – in May 2023 and in February of this year. Joining the lineup is the global sensation from Hungary, the mega-popular singer-songwriter and YouTuber Azahriah, who made history as the youngest musician ever to sell out the Budapest Sports Arena Papp Laszlo, with three consecutive sold-out solo concerts awaiting him at the Puskas Arena national stadium, in front of more than 150,000 fans! Also, straight from their major European tour comes the previously announced Slovenian band Joker Out, which launched their career at last year's Eurovision Song Contest, as well as the Belgrade punk rock band Replicunts!
Adding to the lineup for Villagers of Ioannina City and Lakeside X on the beloved Visa Fusion Stage are leading regional bands Eyesburn, Ritam nereda, and Macedonian Funk Shui, while on the hardest-hitting Explosive Stage, alongside the previously announced Coroner, making their debut in Serbia, and the melodic death metal band Nemesis, come the unbeatable New York punks The Casualties!
