Way Out West is a music festival in Sweden's second city Göteborg, with rock, indie, and alternative acts from both Sweden and the international scene. The festival is in its third year, but already ranked by UK media as one of the 20 best festivals in Europe. The venue is Slottsskogen, a large beautiful park in the centre of the city. For two days the park is home to two outdoor stages, an indoor stage and a buzzing festival atmosphere during 14th-15th August. Way out West is also environmentally-certified and a tasty selection of organic food is also on the menu.
Way Out West also hosts a number of club nights spread around the city centre with both live music and DJs, starting from Thursday night 13th August.
