 The first day was marked by the return of The Prodigy, who kicked off their performance with 'Breathe', a song that holds special significance in the country as it was first performed live in Belgrade in 1995 when Yugoslavia was under UN sanctions and many other bands were avoiding Serbia.

"Exit always represents but last night was next level," the band said in a Facebook post the day afterwards.
