Way Out West returns to Slottsskogen Park in Gothenburg from 13–15 August 2026, continuing its run as one of Europe’s most forward-thinking festivals, known for its progressive programming, cultural breadth and commitment to conscious living.

Leading the latest lineup announcement, UK pop icon Lily Allen has been revealed as a new addition for 2026, bringing her defining new album West End Girl to the stage in a special full-album performance. Widely praised for its honesty and focus, the record marks one of the most compelling chapters of her career, with its emotional depth and theatrical melodies reaffirming Allen as a fearless voice in modern British songwriting.

She is joined by a newly announced wave of artists including US rock band Wilco and multi-instrumentalist Current Joys, as well as Brighton punks Lambrini Girls, contemporary soul performer Jalen Ngonda and Swedish singer-songwriter Veronica Maggio, who join headliners The Cure, Gorillaz and Ravyn Lenae and other names such as Zara Larsson, Lorde, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Moby, sombr, The xx, Four Tet, Dijon, Anna von Hausswolff and Oklou on the bill for the eighteenth edition.
