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.

Meeting the robots at Way Out West 2012
Another August, another pilgrimage to Way Out West. By now the festival has settled into its familiar rhythm.
Way Out West 2008 post mortem
The time had come to submit myself to the polished machinery of Way Out West. A celebration of music, sustainability, corporate sponsorship and people who somehow manage to look fashionable while standing in a muddy field.
