Posle novosadskog EXIT-a, i u Beogradu je od sinoć počela višednevna žurka pod vedrim nebom nazvana Echo festival. Cena manifestacija trajaće od 10. do 14. jula i to na Velikom ratnom ostrvu do koga vodi pontonski most, čiju je stabilnost pre mesec dana isprobalo sedam slonova. S obzirom na to da je pomenuto ostrvo do sada bilo prilično izolovano od ljudi, u javnosti su se čule oštre kritike na račun festivalskog nasrtaja na nedirnutu prirodu i životinjski svet, ali i pored toga, Festival je sinoć uz vatromet, besplatan ulaz i mnoštvo posetilaca ipak započeo. Organizatori su najavili da Echo festival ima koncepciju sličnu evropskim letnjim festivalima koji se održavaju širom sveta – dakle otvoreni prostor, mnoštvo ljudi, obilje što domaćih, što inostranih muzičara, DJ-eva, dobro raspoloženje, a predviđeno je da se program odvija na četiri scene – Main, Reggae, Bristol i London Xpress sceni. A evo i programa. Prvog dana, tj. sinoć su na Main stageu nastupili Darkwood Dub, The Bays, De-Phazz, Norken, Todd Terry, Orbital DJ set (Phil Hartnoll), na London Xpress stageu nastupili su Slavka, Ewan Pearson, Maurice Fulton, Twitch and Wilkes, Dan Ghenacia, Ivan Smagghe, na Bristol Stageu Ape, DJ Suv, Hung-Up: Ben Parker, Kaspar and Josh, Aspects + One Cut, Shendek and Kid Kamaya, Queen B.
