The Kills

Way Out West 2024

There’s something beautifully deranged about Way Out West. Equal parts eclectic music, in-your-face eco-manifesto and fashion runway for young people who haven’t seen dirt in years. It’s a three-day hallucination where vegan kebab is considered gourmet and half the crowd looks like extras from a Wes Anderson fever dream.

Due to the pandemic, this is the first Way Out West to be held in three years time. Last time was 2019 which featured a lot of rain and not too many exciting bands (at least according to this old grumpy).

Here we go again for another year at Way Out West. It’s getting a bit predictive, but there were a few new additions to explore.

So here we are again at Way Out West. For each year I’m starting to feel more like the old men Statler and Waldorf in The Muppet Show. I’m getting older and the bands booked are getting a bit less interesting.

Time for another year at Way Out West, the cozy and predictable festival in the forest. It’s always a bit of a challenge to have an early slot at a festival, since people tend to arrive later in the afternoon.

Way Out West 2008 post mortem

The time had come to visit the overpriced frenzy of Way Out West. It turned out to be just as I thought it would be. On one hand, it’s quite comfy to visit a festival at the heart of your home town.
