Way Out West Festival - Slottsskogen - Gothenburg, Sweden (boygenius, Wizkid, Tove Lo, Viagra Boys, & more)
August 10-12, 2023 — Photos & words by Laura Cameron
I attended the Way Out West Music Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, which has been held at Slottsskogen Park since 2007. The lineup featured a variety of musical acts including Swedish artists Viagra Boys, José González, and Maja Francis, as well as international headliners (Wizkid, Blur, boygenius). Walking to the 5 stages was quite easy and a 10 minute walk max from one stage to another. After the main stage performances were done, there were smaller shows (Stay Out West) in venues around the city. It was a beautiful weekend full of sunshine. Sadly, did not have a lot of time to see the city or attend Stay Out West due to illness. — Laura
