Joel Alme is a Swedish singer-songwriter celebrated for his melodic indie pop and deeply personal, socially conscious songwriting. Raised in the Gothenburg district of Majorna and later on the island of Brännö, the places he grew up have profoundly shaped his storytelling. Since making his solo debut in 2008, he has released a string of critically acclaimed albums, weaving poetic narratives about class, identity, and the overlooked corners of his hometown. Over the years, his music has evolved from English-language indie pop to a more stripped-back, Swedish-language sound, with his distinctive voice and vivid lyricism taking center stage.

Despite a career that has taken him to countless stages, there’s one milestone Joel Alme has yet to tick off: performing in Slottsskogen during Way Out West. That changes this summer when he takes on stage Azalea on Friday, August 14!
