British man dies at music festival

12 April 2012

A British man has died after falling from a fortress wall in Serbia during an annual music festival, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said.

Anthony Fisk, 22, died in the Novi Sad hospital from injuries he sustained in the fall.

Thousands of people have arrived in Serbia for the Exit music festival held every summer at the ancient Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad.

A spokesman for the FCO said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Serbia following a fall at a music festival and we are providing consular assistance to the family."

Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the four-day festival.

The Exit festival, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, began as a spontaneous student uprising against the regime of Slobodan Milosevic.

This year acts include Lily Allen, Arctic Monkeys, Moby, The Prodigy and Manic Street Preachers.
