Exit festival day0,

the site is huge but is totally different from what i expected, it is full of small stages and 2 large ones, i was encouraged to find many smaller stages including latino & world music stages.

Novisad seems geared up for the event, but the population seems surprised by the amount of brits. As is typical u headed to the irish pub – lots of diddly diddly music – but at least they had Murphys red & there is a rather intoxicating local dark brew that im becoming fond of, there were 2 girls in their mid 20s from Manchester their second year at the event, who are heading to budapest next year

Im still confused as to timings of the events, but the headliners include the read hot chillis, the prodigy, snoop dog, & lauren hill.

Novisad seems to be a strange mix of 18th century architecture & 70s communist architecture – the communist architecture seems to be crumbling badly, the hotel putnic seems to be of the same ilk, smoked glass and a 'classic' interior, Hessian wallpaper, badly worn – its a shame – with some tlc this place could be great – strangely i dont seem to have any curtains either – must talk to reception tomorrow.

Any number of a thousand venues tonight were blairing out beats on the evening of day zero. Enticing customers with cheap beer and food, enticing the young festival crowd in, on this the first un-official day of the festival event the local arts festival putting on an event for local b-boys and girls on its steps, the young crowd seem to mingle easily with novisads traditional residents on its classical cobbled streets
