Deadmau5, Digitalism & more dance stars join EXIT Festival

Since we last reported on one of the world’s most desirable festivals, the 2011 line-up for Serbia’s EXIT has only grown more unmissable. The vast Dance Arena in the historic Petrovardian Fortress has hosted some explosive performances in the past – 2009’s barrage of back-to-back sets could only have been awesome – and things are shaping up well again for this July.

Earlier this year we learned that trip-hop originals Portishead would emerge from the studio to wow the Fortress, and now there’s more after-dark action to report. Deadmau5 has been added to the line-up in his ‘unhooked’ guise, which means the EXIT hordes will get a DJ set instead of the eye-popping live LED show we’ll see at Creamfields.

The latest round of additions also includes Paul Kalbrenner, Digitalism and Steve Aoki, with Underworld, Magnetic Man, Joris Voorn, Carl Craig, Marco Carola and DJ Sneak added back in February. With over 400 acts and 20 stages, there’s plenty more where this came from. Stay tuned, or just take the plunge and buy the airfare now…do you really want to wait another year?
