Exit 08 is set to be one of the best festivals on mainland Europe this year with acts appearing including: N.E.R.D, Paul Weller, The Sex Pistols, Primal Scream, The Streets, Gossip, Juliette Lewis & the Licks, Gogol Bordelo, Ministry, The Hives, Nightwish, Deep Dish (Dubfire & Sharam), Kruder & Dorfmeister Summer Sessions, Sven Vath, Soulwax, 2ManyDJs, Laurent Garnier, Francois K, Tiga, Booka Shade, Ben Watt, Axwell, Claude Von Stroke and Tom Novy.
It certainy looks unique and I have heard nothing but great things from my friends who went last year. There will be over 600 performances taking place on 25 stages connected by cobbled streets, ramparts and tunnels - and a walk through the mystical fortress is like a trip through a magical wonderland (apparently).
The Dance Arena is regarded by many as the best in Europe and the UK with the demise of Homelands etc seems to be falling behind on this. So if you fancy guaranteed hot weather in an unusal location then get thee to Exit!
