Exit Festival, Novi Sad, Serbia
It was the summer of 2000 in Novi Sad and 20-year-old Bojan Boskovic was launching a student protest. His plan was a free cultural event, which would generate social awareness and encourage young Serbs to unite against the government of Slobodan Milosevic. Now with 27 stages attracting 20,000 visitors, Exit has become the biggest music and cultural event in South-east Europe.

Jah Wobble Chinese Dub, Bush Hall, London
In a year full of cultural exchanges with China, this is the friendliest I've seen.

Pitchfork.tv: Deerhunter: "Hazel St." (Live at the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival)
Discussing this video earlier in Forkcast, Marc Hogan said, "When Deerhunter performed 'Hazel St.' at the festival this summer, Cox might've had enough of summer heat. 'First of all, the stage was like 250 degrees,' Cox told Pitchfork afterward . And the stage was black. And Cox was barefoot. Didn't seem to hurt the performance much, though. Cox still cuts a striking figure, whether in a ...
