About Way Out West

Way Out West started in 2007 and quickly became Sweden’s most influential city festival. By day, international headliners play beneath the oaks of Slottsskogen park; by night, Stay Out West continues with club shows across Gothenburg, often putting tomorrow’s big names in tiny venues.

The festival is also known for taking a stand: since 2012 all food served is vegetarian – a decision that made headlines worldwide and became part of its identity. Add film screenings and art, and you see why tickets often sell out before the full line-up is even announced.
