Way Out West is Sweden's most acclaimed music festival, held each August in the leafy Slottsskogen park in Gothenburg with over 30,000 attendees across three days of eclectic indie, hip-hop, electronic, and world music programming. Celebrated for its adventurous lineup choices, outstanding food programme, and forward-thinking sustainability policies — including entirely plant-based catering since 2012 — Way Out West is a benchmark for responsible festival culture. Gothenburg hotels throughout the city centre are conveniently close to Slottsskogen and the charming Swedish harbour city.
