History
The festival began in 2000 as a student protest against the government. During its existence, it has developed into a favourite European music festival and as an organisation with a powerful social platform. Exit has been visited by over two million people in more than 60 countries. CNN, The New York Times, and many others have on numerous occasions proclaimed EXIT amongst the Top Ten world festival destinations. The decision was profoundly influenced by the unique location, hospitality of locals, affordable prices and attractuve programme. Exit's status as one of the best summer party destinations, which includes amenities for all holiday makers, has contributed in making the event more than a music festival.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
