In 1984, Jahorina mountain was the home of the 14th Winter Olympic Games, thus inspiring the name of Festival 84, both as an homage to the location and to the Olympic ideas of peace and tolerance, seeing how the festival gathered numerous festivalgoers from the Balkan region.

Festival 84 was organized by EXIT team, which also organizes five more festivals: Revolution Festival in Romania, Sea Star Festival in Croatia, EXIT Festival in Serbia, Sea Dance Festival in Montenegro and No Sleep Festival in Serbia.

Festival 84 had five stages in total. Olympic Main Stage presented the headliners of the festival during the nights, while Vučko Main Daily Stage hosted daily performers. Stages named Addiko Jump Stage and Switch Stage brought day parties and Super G Afterparty Stage was reserved for afterparties.[5]
