Way Out West Festival Sweden 2016
Way Out West Festival Sweden 2016, the scenically attractive Swedish festival, welcomes artists from the worlds of rock, pop, urban and electro into its idyllic parkland setting in south west Gothenburg.
Spread over five stages, a huge variety of food stalls, bars and a duck-filled lake, festival-goers spend their days kicking back in the sun, before spilling out into the city's bars and clubs for the infamous Stay Out West afterparties.
Way Out West Festival Sweden 2016 isn't just about music though, with the festival also playing host to film screenings, art exhibitions and lectures to feed your minds as you recapture your energy before the party starts again.
The first festival was held in August 2007 in Slottsskogen on Friday and Saturday and at club venues on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. In 2012 the festival became a full-fledged three-day festival with live music in Slottsskogen even on Thursday. In addition to music, the festival has also grown to incorporate other cultural activities such as art exhibitions in Slottsskogen and film showings at cinemas around the city.
Way Out West Festival Sweden 2016 has had a strong focus on being environmentally friendly and was the first festival in Sweden to become KRAV-certified.
Citing environmental reasons, the festival announced on the evening before the first day of the 2012 festival that all food served to artists, staff and visitors during the festival would be vegetarian. This decision led to a furor of reactions, both positive and negative.
The debate culminated with the Gothenburg tabloid GT giving away free sausages and meatballs outside the festival entrance - a move that resulted in a Twitter dispute between the festival's press chief Joel Borg and GT editors that was highlighted by the Swedish media.
The festival has won both national and international awards including: Gyllene Hjulet's 2012 Rights Holder for the Way Out West brand, Resumé's Monthly Outdoor Marketing Campaign, as well as the Most Innovative Festival at the MTV O Music Awards.
