Luke Black, Naked, Tebra, Lanna and Innēr Sense will perform at EXIT Festival this year after being selected in a competition organized as part of the GrassrEUts Project, which aims to support and promote emerging European performers.
Serbia’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 returns to EXIT as a GrassrEUts star! The audience in Novi Sad will enjoy the table of Luka Black, who will perform on Friday, 11 July, on the Fusion stage, and on the same evening Tebra will perform at the Dance Arena, an artist who brings us an emotional journey through organic, afro and progressive house sounds at EXIT.
A day later, on 12 July, Naked, which combines the traditional Balkans sound with urban, funk, swing and free jazz rhythms, will be presented on the Fusion stage, and Lanna, our wunderkind of electronic scene who brings about her recognizable style, will perform at the Dance Arena.
On Sunday, 13 July, Innēr Sense is scheduled to perform at the Dance Arena. This Belgrade-based multi-genre techno project that combines music and art will take listeners on a journey between the subconscious and reality!
All of them were selected in a music contest that was opened in spring, aimed at the performers from partner countries: Serbia, Hungary, Portugal, Tunisia, and Ukraine. Then the selected performers will have the opportunity to perform at a festival in their country, and if the audience selects them, at several renowned festivals throughout Europe.
Namely, during the performance at EXIT Festival, the audience will choose two winners, through the app, who will perform at one of the partner festivals next year: Sziget in Hungary, Nos Alive in Portugal and Carthage Jazz in Tunisia.
Visitors to the Festival should download the GrassrEUts app (Google Play & App Store), add their favourite artist to their favourites and get ready to vote as soon as the livestream of the performance starts. One person has two votes per festival, which can be used during the broadcast, but also during the next two weeks.
Timetables, detailed voting instructions as well as information about other international performers who have been selected in the competition can be found on the www.grassreuts.eu website.
GrassrEUts is an EU-funded project under the Creative Europe programme. It started in November 2024 and it will be running for two years, with the aim to promote European and music of the neighbouring countries on international stages. In addition to EXIT Festival, the project also includes Sziget Festival (Hungary), NOS Alive (Portugal), Jazz Festival of Carthage (Tunisia), All-Ukrainian Association of Music Events (Ukraine) and KUN Centre for Equality and Diversity (Norway).
