The festival takes place in Roskilde, which is a city in Denmark with a population of about 50,000 people. The festival began as an anti-commercial alternative to the rock festivals that were popular at the time; it was held on waste ground near Roskilde Cathedral (hence its name). Today it includes several stages for live music performances as well as other activities such as dance shows and circus performances.

For three days in November, Novi Sad (the country’s second largest city) is host to Exit Festival–the largest music festival in Serbia and one of its most famous cultural events. The festival features more than 300 international artists from around the world performing on multiple stages over several days.
Exit began as an underground movement against oppression during Yugoslavia’s communist era but has since grown into an internationally recognized event with over 200,000 attendees each year. The festival takes place at several different venues across Novi Sad including open air stages and indoor clubs throughout town; some ticket holders get access only to certain areas depending on how much they pay for tickets or whether their purchase includes VIP treatment such as backstage passes or private transportation between venues
