EXIT Festival premieres Nina Kraviz and Amelie Lens sets to celebrate the Serbian New Year on 14th and 15th January
The world premiere of unforgettable sets of Nina Kraviz and Amelie Lens from the grand closing of the Dance Arena in 2018 and 2019, and the VR party set up in cooperation with one of Germany's clubs Bootshaus with the performance of house DJ duo andhim, are all part of the exclusive program of the holiday special's finale "EXIT TO 2021”.
After the New Year's Eve broadcast of some of the best performances in the history of the festival's Main Stage - courtesy of The Cure, The Prodigy, and many others, along with David Guetta's special midnight set - it's time for audiences around the world to experience world exclusives from the world renowned mts Dance Arena.
Celebrating the Serbian New Year on Thursday, January 14 and Friday, January 15, will be the two legendary closing Arena performances of Nina Kraviz and Amelie Lens, which have not been broadcast until now, presented on EXIT's Facebook and Youtube channels. On Saturday, January 16, the audience will have the opportunity to experience an innovative new form of VR parties, in which EXIT, in cooperation with Bootshaus club and the innovative Sansar platform, will bring a virtual live performance by house masters andhim.
NINA KRAVIZ — Thursday, 14th of January, 8:21 pm CET
After closing the festival a year earlier and contributing to EXIT's Best European Festival title in 2017, Nina Kraviz returned to her second home in July 2018. She once again had the honour of playing the last set of the festival. On that summer morning, a crowded Dance Arena breathed as one during a multi-hour set, at the end of which in the atmosphere experienced only at stadium rock concerts cheering crowd chanted her name and lead to an encore featuring the cult-favorite track "Ghetto Kraviz." An official video of this exceptional performance will be shown to the public for the first time on Thursday, the 14th of January at 8:21 pm CET, announcing Nina's new arrival at the Petrovaradin Fortress to celebrate the EXIT festival's 20th birthday.
AMELIE LENS — Friday, 15th of January 8:21 pm CET
Amelie Lens' performance at the Dance Arena in 2019 is remembered as one of the best closing scenes in the festival's history. This techno diva, inspired by the connection between The Prodigy and EXIT, played "Firestarter" at the very end of a flawless set, in honour of the deceased Keith Flint, causing euphoria in the crowd. Interesting fact is that it’s the last song played at EXIT festival until today. The world premiere of the stream will be broadcast on Friday, the 15th of January, at 8:21 pm CET.

Celebrating European Talent
Compared to Anglo-American music, the total percentage of music originating from continental Europe is relatively small. The Music Moves Europe Talent Awards are designed to accelerate the international careers of upcoming European artists.
Music Moves Europe
Music is one of the most popular forms of art, widely consumed, and a vibrant expression of Europe's cultural diversity. Music Moves Europe, the overarching framework for the European Commission’s initiatives and actions in support of the European music sector aims to help the music sector flourish. In line with this approach, the Music Moves Europe Talent Awards, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme, the EU funding programme for the culture and audiovisual sector,wants to contribute to the creativity, diversity and competitiveness of the music sector in Europe.
Organising coalition
The Music Moves Europe Talent Awards are organised by ESNS and Reeperbahn Festival in partnership with Yourope, Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA), International Music Managers Forum (IMMF), Liveurope, Live DMA, European Music Exporters Exchange (EMEE), Digital Music Europe (DME) and media partner European Broadcasting Union (EBU), with support from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Province of Groningen and the City of Groningen. The awards are implemented in close cooperation with the European Commission and financially supported by Creative Europe.
ESNS introduces European Music Week - a call to support and introduce new European talent
The first edition of the European Music Week will kick off on January 8, 2021. A campaign to celebrate European music across the world, the European Music Week will be a call to support and introduce new European talent and give artists centre stage.
In the past year, due to the current pandemic, festivals have been cancelled and venues had to close their doors and suspend events, with severe consequences for the live music industry, including the artists who were unable to take the spotlight. The European Music Week will take place from January 8 – 15 and is an initiative by ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) and its partners and a lead up to the digital edition of ESNS 2021 (January 13 – 16, 2021).
Robert Meijerink, head of programme at ESNS says:
“European music has been the prime focus of ESNS for 35 years. In the past year a lot of artists missed the opportunity to play live and had a hard time to reach their potential audience. The European Music Week is a perfect way to give them the spotlight. A good opportunity to promote new talent but also to highlight the rich history of European music. Above all, It’s time to start the new year with a positive message and think and work on a new future.”
A wide range of partners across the globe will be celebrating European music and new talent in particular, sharing their content with the hashtag #europeanmusicweek.
Current partners include, amongst others; EBU stations across Europe (BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, NPO 3FM, BNR, ARD, RAI RADIO 2, RTÉ 2FM, LRT Opus, LUERSL 100.7, SRF, RTS, RADIO BELGRADE ONE, ERR Raadio 2), but also Spotify, Deezer, KEXP, Vice, European festivals, venues and other outlets.

EXIT to 2021: Enter the New Year with The Prodigy, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Liam Gallagher, Migos and many more!
As part of the celebration of two decades of the EXIT festival, EXIT TV has created a special program for New Year's Eve, which will include some of the biggest names in the rich history of the festival, such as The Cure, The Prodigy, Migos, David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Moby, Faithless, Motorhead, Jason Derulo, Atoms For Peace, Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Hurts, Pet Shop Boys, Nile Rodgers, Fever Ray and many, many others.
An eclectic mix of historical performances from the Main Stage titled "EXIT To 2021" will unite fans around the planet on the 31st of December in the best wishes for the new year, which we all expect to be incomparably better than the previous one. “Bearing in mind that the forthcoming New Year’s holidays will be unique in the fact that the vast majority of people will spend them at home in very specific circumstances, we have decided to do what we do best — offer people an EXIT from the current situation, share with them some of the most important moments in EXIT Festival’s rich history and entertain them in the best possible way during New Year’s Eve”- said Maja Starčević, program manager of the Main stage of the EXIT festival.
EXIT TO 2021 | New Year's Eve Special Coming Up by EXIT TV: https://youtu.be/GdiDMhoP5aM
The multi-genre show will include Electronica, EDM, hip-hop, reggae, and funk beats, as well as fierce guitar riffs and pop romance! Some of today’s biggest global superstars, whose performances at the EXIT festival have been retold for years, will be in charge of keeping the party going, in conditions we hope never to face again. The EXIT team were overwhelmed with so many performers responding so quickly to the invitation to have their recordings used in this special New Year’s Eve broadcast, stating that they are thrilled to be involved in such a project.
The New Year’s Eve hitmakers include David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Lost Frequencies, Jason Derulo, Bastille, and the unforgettable Nile Rodgers. At the same time, fans of hip-hop culture will enjoy the hits and reminisce about the outstanding performances of greats such as Migos and Desiigner.
To the delight of fans of a slightly heavier sound, there will be no shortage of guitars celebrating the arrival of 2021, with the opportunity to remember the performances of The Cure, Motorhead, and Phil Anselmo, while The Prodigy, Moby, Faithless, Dub FX, and Jamiroquai will set off a bonafide energy bomb. This star-studded line-up will be joined by the legendary Liam Gallagher, who, after his performance on the Main Stage in 2017, called EXIT one of the biggest festivals on the planet!
Ziggy Marley, Damon Albarn, Fever Ray, The Vaccines, Atoms for Peace, Pet Shop Boys, and Roisin Murphy will complete the farewell to 2020 with their excellent tunes, while the pop beats will be delivered by some of today’s most distinct vocalists Tom Odell, Rag n Bone Man, and John Newman, as well as Hurts, whose management singled out the band’s performance on the EXIT Festival Main Stage in 2014, as one of their best concerts ever!
The New Year’s Eve broadcast will be available on EXIT Festival’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
