Carl Cox Returns to EXIT Festival’s Dance Arena With Special 3-Hour Set
EXIT Festival will welcome one of the crown jewel’s of the electronic industry back to their landmark event in Serbia, as they announced Carl Cox will be closing the first day of their 3-day festival with a three-hour set July 4.
Due to his decision to reduce the number of shows he’s playing, Cox’s appearance at EXIT Festival will be a must-see event. He described playing for the EXIT Festival crowd as “One of the best experiences for sure” when asked about his renowned set from the event in 2009, when he closed out the festival.
The Festival began campaigning for Cox’s return after he topped a poll where fans expressed their wishes for the Dance Arena lineup. Cox required no convincing, and confirmed he will return to the festival to mark the 10-year anniversary of that incredible 2009 closing set.
“Everyone in the EXIT Team are very excited to have Carl next year!” stated the festival founder Dušan Kovačević via press release, and added: “Ever since he decided to reduce the number of his shows and perform only on special occasions, the question was whether he would ever return. The emotional invitation we sent out together with the fans has confirmed that Carl also wants to be back at EXIT to write down some of the best pages in the history books of our beloved Dance Arena.”
EXIT Festival will be held 4-7 July 2019 at Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia and the first acts have already been announced, including The Cure, Carl Cox, Greta Van Fleet, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Phil Anselmo & The Illegals, Sofi Tukker, Tarja, The Selecter, Peter and the Test Tube Babies and many more yet to be announced early next year. Tickets are available at exitfest.org.
