We might complain about a lineup at Way Out West that lacked super-mega-big headliners. I still think it´s true this year, but on the other hand, there are few festivals that can offer such a variety in small- to medium sized acts. For example, starting out the Saturday in Dungen, watching Romy from The XX perform a DJ-set right in …

Festival review: Way Out West – Friday

Aaaaahhh… Finally! Almost three years! Three years since being at a festival. It´s almost difficult to comprehend. Some weird shit went down in 2020 and 2021, but now everything is just fine. Right? Well, we´ll get back to that. The organizers behind Rosendal Garden Party, FKP Scorpio, have waited. The concert with The National and Cat Power has basically been …
