Big news alert: for the first time ever since it began in 2000, EXIT Festival is leaving its legendary Petrovaradin Fortress home and heading out into the world — and the Middle East debut is HUGE. In 2026, Egypt becomes the center of the rave universe.
The award-winning festival is launching a global tour called “The First Chapter”, taking its rave to new territories.
Middle East Debut Under the Pyramids
October 2026 will see EXIT transform the Great Pyramids of Giza into a multi-day electronic music celebration like no other. With Venture Lifestyle — the powerhouse behind shows like Anyma — bringing its expertise, this will be a historic crossover of ancient wonder and cutting-edge sound. EXIT’s legacy includes massive acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, Snoop Dogg, and Black Eyed Peas, so Egypt can expect a lineup built for legends.
A Global Chapter Begins
Egypt is the standout stop, but EXIT’s tour also touches down in Croatia, North Macedonia, Malta, Mumbai, and Belgrade — connecting continents and cultures through music. From fortress walls to the pyramids, EXIT isn’t saying goodbye to its roots — it’s taking them global.
