Volunteer

A keystone to Way Out West – the volunteers! Being a volunteer means you get to experience the festival in a unique way, helping putting it all together before, during and after. It’s also a great way to make new friends and gain new knowledge. You can volunteer in different areas of the festival such as artist service, decoration, site, catering, environmental services and much more. During the time you are not engaged in volunteer duties, you can enjoy the festival as a regular visitor.

This year’s volunteer program is full and there’s no vacant spots. We recommend you who would like to attend Way Out West as a volunteer to apply next year instead!

Accreditation

The accreditation is closed for this year.

Accessibility

Way Out West is a festival for everyone, and we are committed to making it accessible to all. If you need an accessibility ticket, you can purchase one here or search for Accessibility tickets on Ticketmaster. The price is the same as a regular ticket. If you have special needs and need to bring a companion or caregiver, they can accompany you free of charge. Please make sure to bring a certification for your needs.

 

If you need to switch companions during the festival, that’s absolutely fine. When one companion leaves the area, another companion can enter and take over. Please go to the Ticket Service tent, located at the Ticket Exchange outside of the festival area, and they will help you.

 

At our main site in Slottsskogen, accessibility ramps are available at all stages. Several accessible toilets are also located throughout the festival grounds. You can find these at the map (available in the Way Out West app).

 

While most restaurants and facilities are wheelchair-friendly, please note that the natural terrain of the park may make some areas more challenging to access, especially during peak hours.

 

Stay Out West is located at clubs around Gothenburg. All of them are wheelchair-friendly to some degree as they operate year-round. Please contact us in advance if you have specific questions that concerns a certain venue.

 

If you have any additional questions or specific needs, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@wayoutwest.se before your visit.

The age limit at Way Out West is 13+ for Youth tickets, and 18+ for Standard tickets.

Government guidelines for sound levels in Sweden recommend that persons under 13 years of age should not be exposed to the high sound pressure levels that can be experienced at festivals and concerts. You must therefore be over 13 years of age to attend Way Out West (this includes toddlers with hearing protection too). To enter the bar areas where alcohol is served, and all of the Stay Out West venues + Stage Dungen you must be over 18 years of age (it is a good idea to bring photo-ID if you are under 30).

No, age verification is required when exchanging your ticket for a wristband.

 

I’m under 18. Can I attend with a Standard ticket if I’m accompanied by my legal guardian?

What stages do I have access to with a Youth ticket (13-17 years)?

With a Youth ticket you can not access Dungen Stage (in Slottsskogen) and our Stay Out West program (clubs around Gothenburg after the main festival site closes).
