Three days of music in Göteborg, Sweden and we are going! Since its inception the Way Out West festival stands out for their extra work to present artists who normally do not act at festivals or have not acted in a while. In 2007 Kanye West performed (keep in mind that in 2007, West wasn’t quite the superstar that he is today), in 2010 Pavement and Wu-Tang Clan (all members), in 2011 Prince. The billboard of last year was amazing with Blur and no less than Kraftwerk‘s appearing.

This year the festival goes big and out of the boundaries of the Slottskogen park, the traditional and whimsical headquarters and there will be stages all over the city. Among others, the shows include Cat Power, Neil Young, Bat for Lashes, Grimes, Alicia Keys, Phosphorecense, Goat, The Knife… and not only music, but art, design and vj sessions are part of the combo. We just can’t wait.
