Way Out West 2024
There’s something beautifully deranged about Way Out West. Equal parts eclectic music, eco manifesto and fashion runway for young people who haven’t seen dirt in years.
Way Out West 2022
Three years is a long time to go without a festival. The last Way Out West was back in 2019, a soggy affair with more rain than memorable bands, at least according to this increasingly grumpy attendee.
Way Out West 2019
Here we go again. Another August, another pilgrimage to Way Out West. By now the routine is almost ceremonial. First walk into Slottsskogen. Then question whether the lineup is getting weaker or I’m just getting older.
Way Out West 2018
So here we are again at Way Out West. Every year I feel a little more like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show, watching from the balcony, muttering at the youngsters while wondering when exactly the world stopped asking my opinion.
Way Out West 2017
After last year’s biblical mud bath, I boarded the tram expecting another weekend of damp boots, expensive food and the slow surrender of dignity. Gothenburg weather has a habit of treating Way Out West less like a music festival and more like a survival exercise.
Terminus festival in Calgary
There’s something beautifully perverse about flying halfway across the world to spend some days in a dark room full of black-clad strangers while the summer sun glares outside, confused and ignored. But that’s the magic of Terminus Festival.
Henry Rollins at Way Out West 2016
Way Out West has settled into its role as one of those dependable summer rituals. A weekend where thousands willingly queue for overpriced falafel, wear ironic footwear and consume enough Aperol Spritz to keep the canals of Venice topped up.
Front Fabrik Festival in Krakow
It’s a sunny weekend in Krakow and I’m here to attend the first year of the Front Fabrik Festival. The first night was a warm-up party. We went through Kazimierz across the river Vistula and arrived in the Podgórze district.
Yet another year at Way Out West 2015
Time for yet another visit to Way Out West, the annual outdoor city festival in Gothenburg. At first the lineup seemed a bit sparse, but it actually turned out to be great.
Way Out West 2014
Way Out West has always been a strange beast. Part music festival, part environmental manifesto, part runway for people wearing clothes that look accidentally expensive.
