Read a festival poster as useful language

EXIT takes place at Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad. A festival report combines time, location, performers, stages and large numbers, so listen for categories rather than trying to catch every word.

Questions with kada, gde, koliko and na kojoj direct attention towards different facts. Write those four question words before playing the video and place each answer beside the right one.
