About Way Out West 2026
Way Out West has run in Slottsskogen (a public park in the middle of Gothenburg) since 2007, and splits into two halves. By day it is five stages in the park: Flamingo and Azalea take the biggest names, with Linné, Höjden and the dance-leaning Dungen underneath. At night the festival moves into the city as Stay Out West, a club programme across eight Gothenburg venues that is 18+, included in the festival pass, and runs until three or four in the morning.
The Cure and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds headline Friday, Gorillaz and Lorde headline Saturday, and Moby and The xx top Thursday. Lily Allen's Thursday set is billed as a performance of West End Girl. Underneath sits the kind of bill Way Out West is known for (Wilco, Four Tet, Clipse, Dijon, Geese, Lykke Li, Ezra Collective and a rare live appearance from Arthur Verocai), while Stay Out West runs Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, Honey Dijon, Iceage and Jane Remover in rooms holding a few hundred people. Set times are published for every act.
Expect electronic, pop, house and hip-hop across 137 acts.

Sweden's best-dressed rock band, with matching suits, maximum arrogance, and the tightest garage-punk show on earth.
Garage-rockPunk
Six decades of sermon, murder ballad and grief turned into something closer to communion, from a band that can level a field with one held organ note.
Art rockGothic rock
Goth's beating heart, with three-hour sets, Robert Smith's undimmed voice, and a catalog that swings from despair to 'Friday I'm in Love'.
Post-punkGoth
The NZ art-pop auteur is brooding, minimal, and generation-defining, back on a headline stage where the whispered verses hit hardest.
Art-popAlt-pop
Damon Albarn's animated universe is a genre-omnivorous hits machine and guest-star carousel, two decades of cartoon cover for some of pop's best songwriting.
Alt-popHip-hop hybrid
Mattias El Mansouri
Dance
Swedish-language songwriting with a country lope and a deadpan baritone, where everyday melancholy is delivered like a joke that turns serious halfway through.
Singer-songwriterCountry
Hushed, unhurried songwriting from a new voice with old grace.
Folk
Yaeger
Swedish pop artist working a sharp, club-adjacent strain of electronic pop, with precise production and plenty of attitude in the vocal.
Pop
His 1972 self-titled record flopped, got sampled to death decades later, and turned him into a live legend, performing orchestral Brazilian soul with a full string section.
MPBBrazilian jazz
The selector's selector, with Hessle Audio's omnivorous ear and no productions needed; a world-class reputation built purely on what he plays and how.
UK bassTechno
Kasino
Hip-hop
Sunlit Greek indie-pop that borrows from yacht rock and eighties AOR without irony, breezy on the surface but wistful once you follow the words.
Indie popSynth-pop
Pusha T and Malice, reunited: coke-rap scripture over pristine beats, one of rap's great comebacks and a masterclass in brotherly chemistry.
Hip-hopCoke-rap
The Savages frontwoman solo, bringing total physical commitment, an unblinking stare, and songs that treat intensity as the point rather than the garnish.
Post-punkArt rock
Wrote the meanest, funniest pop of the late 2000s in a plain London accent, then came back with a divorce record that gives away more than most artists ever would.
PopBritpop
Named himself as a joke and then outlasted the meme, making warm, sample-led house that keeps one foot in the nineties.
HouseLo-fi house
Gossamer French avant-pop with choral synths and whispered melody, songs that feel lit by candles and screens at once.
Art-popElectronic
Swedish pop machinery at its shiniest, from 'Lush Life' to main-character bangers, delivered with total command.
PopDance-pop
Detroit ghettotech revived at full speed by a trio who rap, DJ and MC over 160bpm at once, and treat the dancefloor like a call and response.
GhettotechJuke
Roni
Techno
Pipe-organ doom hymns: sacred music for the beautifully unwell, where cathedral drones meet gothic songcraft at genuinely tectonic volume.
Organ droneGothic
Diaristic pop with the edges left sharp: songs about wanting someone written with enough self-awareness to make the wanting funny.
PopIndie pop
Live From Earth affiliate splicing trance euphoria into contemporary club music, with Berlin-honed sets that treat nostalgia as fuel, not a crutch.
TechnoTrance
Whispered minimalism that somehow fills a festival field, with intimacy at headline scale and 'Intro' still raising arm hair.
Indie electronicMinimal pop
Swedish club provocateur making hard, latex-slick electronic pop for rooms with the lights off: fetish-fashion aesthetics welded to genuinely heavy club production.
ElectronicIndustrial pop
Kim Öhman
Will Oldham's long-running alias, with hymn-plain melodies delivered in a quavering voice, singing about death and desire like they're the same errand.
Indie folkAmericana
Marimba cumbia played with punk hands, from a family band that keeps the tradition intact and then hits it a lot harder than tradition requires.
CumbiaGarage punk
Anna-My B2B MOLØ
House
Grand, string-lined Swedish pop delivered in a croon, the kind of songwriting that treats a chorus as a place to put everything.
PopSinger-songwriter
Swedish folk tradition dragged somewhere stranger, with fiddle and choral arrangement used for queer, political songwriting that doesn't ask permission.
FolkExperimental
A low, unhurried contralto over spare guitar, with folk songwriting that has the patience to let a room go completely quiet.
FolkSoul
Sixties soul sung straight, with no wink, and a falsetto so period-correct that the Daptone-school arrangements almost feel like the modern part.
SoulR&B
Saoirse B2B Leon Vynehall
Two selectors who both prefer the long way round, sharing a booth, with house, breaks and left turns given room to actually go somewhere.
HouseElectronic
Nektar
Rock
A featherweight soprano over warm, live-band R&B, Chicago's most distinctive voice in the genre, with 'Love Me Not' finally making it official.
Alt-R&BNeo-soul
Qendresa
R&B/soul
Neapolitan disco built out of Mediterranean funk, dub and boogie: sun-bleached grooves sung in dialect, with a live band that pushes them harder.
DiscoFunk
Bright, sample-happy UK house with a rave memory: big vocal flips landing exactly where you want them to.
HouseBreakbeat
Unhinged Brooklyn art-rock that is yelping, swaggering, and critically adored, like the Stones reassembled by art students mid-fever.
Indie rockArt-rock
Rapping in four languages over production built from industrial clatter, this is one of the hardest, most physical rap sets coming out of East Africa.
RapExperimental
Dev Hynes's velvety art-R&B, with '80s soul textures, jazz chords, and quiet heartbreak from one of pop's most sought-after collaborators.
art-R&BIndie soul
Detroit house played with the city's history in the room, with deep, soulful selections and a writer's sense of why each record matters.
HouseDeep house
Songs that sound recorded live in a crowded room by accident: ragged, intimate, and completely singular, with a live band that pushes them even further loose.
Alt-R&BIndie-soul
NYC's buzziest indie-dance trio, with baggy house grooves and downtown cool, like Madchester relocated to a Chinatown basement.
Indie danceHouse
Hanna Ojanen
Bilious, very funny queer punk that names names: thirty seconds into the set someone is already in the crowd, and nobody is being spared.
PunkPost-punk
Kieran Hebden's glowing folk-tronic universe: patient builds that hit like revelation, two decades of textures that make dance music feel handmade.
Electronic
Killen. (DJ-set)
Dance
UK-garage-inflected R&B with Kaytranada's favorite-vocalist energy: silk delivery over broken beats, two-step rhythms under velvet vocals.

Swedish heartbreak in slow motion, from 'I Follow Rivers' to sadcore chanteuse, a decade-plus of gorgeous ache.
Dream-popElectro-pop
Daesta
Hannes
R&B/soul
Keys player at the centre of London's jazz scene, with dub weight and hip-hop swing under long, unhurried solos.
JazzDub
Parsa
Hip-hop
A sitar player who took the instrument out of its glass case, bending classical training toward flamenco, electronics and film scoring without diluting any of it.
Indian classicalContemporary
Thirty-five years of pop about London: house records, sixties girl-group melody and a fan's archive habit, all in the same song.
Indie popDance-pop
Raghd
Hip-hop
Reggae revival with an R&B ear and a warm, conversational voice over rhythms that never rush to make their point.
ReggaeSoul
Irish rave-house heat with big-room energy and underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, and Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.
HouseBreakbeat
West London grime star gone festival-sized, with melodic flexes, 'Ladbroke Grove' garage bounce, and a UK-rap versatility that moves between road and radio without strain.
GrimeUK rap
The Magnolia
R&B/soul
Smoke-voiced British soul with torch songs of modern nerve, a BRIT-anointed voice built for the spotlight and the string section.
Soul
London jazz as a party rather than a seminar, with Afrobeat and dancehall pulling the horns along, and a drummer who conducts the room from behind the kit.
JazzAfrobeat
Bassline and 4x4 garage with the low end pushed forward, functional club music that plays much bigger than it looks on paper.
BasslineUK garage
Swank Mami
Electronic
America's great art-rock institution, from 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' to now, endlessly generous live, Nels Cline solos included.
AmericanaArt-rock
Sweden's biggest pop songwriter in her own language, with bruised, specific lyrics carried by arrangements built for singing back at full volume.
PopSwedish pop
Norwegian duo's icy avant-pop: classical strings meet club unease, beauty kept deliberately off-balance, fashion-week cool with conservatory bones.
Avant-popElectronic
Swedish producer who treats techno as a materials problem, making brittle, physical rhythm tracks that sound like machinery going wrong on purpose.
TechnoExperimental
Warm, live-instrument house that leans soul rather than club, the kind of set that works equally well at golden hour and at three in the morning.
ElectronicDowntempo
Moody, reverb-soaked alt-pop from a Manhattan teenager who went from bedroom demos to festival bills: heartbreak at streaming scale.
Alt-popBedroom pop
A poet who performs like a frontman and is the voice on some of British jazz's biggest recent moments, funny and furious in the same breath.

Swedish duo pairing a veteran modular-techno and dub-electronics producer with a trumpeter from the country's exploratory jazz scene, where machine pulse is answered by live brass.

Xenya Genovese's woozy, guitar-led bedroom pop, sung like she's half-asleep and completely certain: Manchester cool at a whisper.
Indie popBedroom pop
A Fife songwriter and a Swedish harmony singer trading verses in spare, generous folk built for a room where nobody talks over it.
FolkChamber folk
The producer everybody's favourite rapper calls first, with dusty, unhurried loops that make whoever is on the mic sound more serious.

Metal
Art-pop group built on traded vocals and songs that lurch between sections, keeping the hooks intact through every hairpin turn.
Alternative
Blown-out bedroom emo recorded past the point of clipping, with melodies buried in noise that hit harder for having to be dug out.
EmoNoise pop
Compresses more into two minutes than most rappers manage in ten, with dense, muttered writing over loops that sound like they're decaying in real time.
RapAbstract hip-hop
Cameron Picton's project after black midi, carrying that band's restless arrangements into more songwriterly, expansive indie.
Indie
Glittering, game-engine electronic from Australia's most inventive young club producer: chiptune sparkle at rave pressure, drops that sparkle as hard as they hit.
ElectronicHyperpop
Mietze Conte
Euro-dance pop played for maximum chaos: bubbling synths, warped vocals and songs that change direction halfway through on purpose.
HyperpopEurodance
Dgeral

Kimia & Thilly
Burlington's cracked-country rocker, with road-worn songs that lurch and soar, scuffed-up guitar poetry in the Lenderman school.

Frankie Beanie's project, with a Virginia punk upbringing filtered through Liverpool and Los Angeles, and song titles that tell you not to take any of it too solemnly.

Dublin band bending neo-soul and funk into something scruffier and more Irish than either genre expects: jagged, jazzy, and completely their own.
Neo-soulAlt-R&B
Digicore prodigy turned noise-pop auteur, abrasive and gorgeous at once, with walls of distortion hiding devastating melody.

Manchester's buzzy new guitar gang are scrappy, hook-first and rising fast on word of mouth, and the hype is earning itself.
