The first set of names has been announced for EXIT Festival 2010, the eleventh edition of the massive Serbian music event. The Chemical Brothers will headline the main stage, delivering their visually explosive live performance in one of only three festival dates for the summer of 2010. They'll be joined by British synth-rockers Does It Offend You, Yeah?, as well as flamboyant pop misfit Mika. Norwegian electro-pop duo Royksopp will also take the stage, along with the skinny-jeaned Canadians known as Crystal Castles. Crookers , Boys Noize and Erol Alkan . Fans of leaner house and techno shouldn't feel left out, as Friday night will bring the likes of Josh Wink , Moderat and minimal superstar Ricardo Villalobos . Ed Banger will be the sound du jour on Sunday, with DJ Mehdi , SebastiAn and Busy P all sharing the stage. 30 Comments
