A poster circulating online shows a stacked lineup for Way Out West in Gothenburg, with The Cure and Gorillaz taking top billing. The graphic lists the festival dates as Aug 13–15 and the site as Slottsskogen.
- The Cure
- Gorillaz
- Underworld
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
- Lorde
- The xx
- Turnstile
- Viagra Boys
- IDLES
- Peggy Gou
The poster is dense with names across genres — from electronic acts and indie heavyweights to punk and hip-hop — and also includes shows from artists like Earl Sweatshirt, Alabama Shakes, Gigi Perez, Bob Vylan and Floating Points. The bottom of the poster repeats the usual festival caveats: “More artists to be announced soon” and that the lineup may be subject to change.
If this poster turns out to be the official lineup drop it would be one of the year’s stronger European festival bills. We’ll watch for confirmation from the festival and ticket release details and update the wire when organizers post the official announcement.
Tickets and more info for Way Out West are normally available at the festival site; keep an eye on official channels for final confirmation.
