Way Out West has filled the city park Slottsskogen with music, film, talks and fantastic vegetarian food since 2007. The three-day festival attracts visitors from all over the world, and continues to surprise us every year.
In 2025, the line-up includes artists like Chappel Roan, Charli XCX, Iggy Pop, Pet Shop Boys, Kite and Yung Lean & Blade. The concerts take place both in Slottsskogen and on live stages around Gothenburg as part of the unique Stay Out West club concept. Read more at wayoutwest.se.
