After EXIT Festival's first edition in 2001 was the first mass event to gather huge crowds of young people from all over the region after the civil wars in Balkans, the arrival of the Serbian festival's team to the Croatian coast for Sea Star Festival got everyone’s attention. The festival was symbolically opened by waterpolo players from all four countries where EXIT Summer of Love took place, who were swimming to the center of the lagoon and launched a water hologram with a projection that marked the 50th anniversary of the original Summer of Love 1967.

The first edition of Sea Star Festival, totalled in over 50,000 people, with the capacity of the festival needing to be increased three times, and the number of stages and zones doubled in comparison to the original plan. After such huge demand. The following boutique festival, Revolution, held in the Romanian city of Timisoara from June 1 to 3, with the new energy of EXIT Summer of Love, also broke its own record with 20,000 fans!

Globally acclaimed for almost two decades, EXIT Festival took place from July 5 to 9 with 215,000 visitors, which set the new record at the colossal Petrovaradin Fortress. This years opening ceremony also included one of world's most influential speakers Nick Vujicic, joined by the Water Protectors from the Sioux Tribe and the environmental movement Standing Rock, who gave emotional emotional speaches in front of tens of thousands, with the spirit of the 60s being revived through the live musical "Hair" with over 30 actors on the Main Stage!

EXIT headliners took home plenty of life-long memories, with even Liam Gallagher tweeting that "EXIT Festival in Novi Sad has to be 1 of the best festivals on the planet"! and closing the legendary mts Dance Arena Nina Kraviz DJ set looked more like a rock stadium spectacle with 25.000 fans cheering her name at the end and she said it was "one of the most magical dance floors in the world"!

The finale of the EXIT Summer of Love ended back to the shores of the turquoise Adriatic, to the beautiful Jaz beach in Montenegro, where the fourth Sea Dance Festival took place between July 13 and 15. After John Newman and Fatboy Slim brought the energy levels up night in and night out, the victory belonged to the Jamaican superstar, Sean Paul, who brought the main stage to boiling point! This, 15th night of this year’s EXIT Summer of Love, was taken into the morning and a spectacular sunrise by the new world techno superstar, Amelie Lens.
