Wayoutwest

Way Out West is Gothenburg's big one. A three day festival in Slottsskogen park, mid August, with 120+ acts across music, film and talks. It's not just about the main site though. When the park closes, Stay Out West takes over clubs around the city, so the night keeps going if you've got the energy. The vibe is pretty straightforward. You get your wristband at Linnéplatsen, bring an empty water bottle and a small bag, and you're set. Food and drinks aren't allowed in, but there are restaurants and spots to eat inside. If you're under 18, there's a Youth ticket that gets you into the park stages, but Stay Out West is strictly 18+. Accessibility is actually thought through here. Ramps at all stages, accessible toilets around the grounds, and companion tickets are free if you need one. The park terrain can be a bit much in places, but they've clearly tried to make it work for everyone. Worth a visit if you want a festival that doesn't feel like a corporate machine. It's got the big lineup…
