Way Out West Festival (Gothenburg)

This coming weekend sees the fourth annual Way Out West festival, held in Slottsskogen Park in central Gothenburg. With pint-sized pop enigma Prince, reformed Britpop heroes Pulp and opinion dividing, hip-hop irritant Kanye West headlining, the festival goes from strength to strength and at only £130 a ticket (it’s now sold-out unfortunately) it offers, along with many others in Europe, better value for money than the majority of British festivals, providing you book early enough. Snipe will be escaping riot-strewn London for the calmer surroundings of Sweden’s second city later this week; hopefully the dulcet tones of Ariel Pink, Robyn, Planningtorock and Low will provide a favourable alternative to police sirens and circling choppers.
