I suggest there are trams and busses too?... Trams go from the centre to the park, but they get very busy coming back after the headliners. It is walkable (and mostly downhill) back into the centre afterwards, maybe 30-40 minutes to the area round the station. There are "Stay Out" shows after the music in the park ends, and some of the venues for those are walkable from the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty76 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Just bought my tickets, first time I'll be in Sweden. Looking forward to it very much, especially the Thursday has an amazing set of headliners! Does anyone know capacity of the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivedal 1904 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I think last year capacity was 30 000 visitors per day. Can sometimes feel a bit crowded in some bottlenecks of the area but usually not that hard to get a decent spot in front of the stages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what is written above concerning capacity. If I compare with Rock Werchter it´s easier to get a good spot during the concerts at WOW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Seriously considering coming to this. I've got a flight landing at about 2pm, so potentially could get on site at 4pm. I am likely to miss anything? Also, what's the difference between acts like Maisie Peters being listed as playing 'Way Out West' vs. those as 'Slottsskogen'? Is that just a quirk of the lineup page? I know there's the late night 'Stay Out West', but this is not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's the late night 'Stay Out West', but this is not that. The line-up is indeed very good this year. I think the concerts start around 2-2.30 pm so you might miss the first 1 or 2 acts of the day. About the Way Out West vs Slottsskogen venue I think it means the same place since "Slottsskogen" is the actual festival location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidTourist Posted June 28 Author Report Share Posted June 28 The schedule is out now! Amazingly, The Smile/PJ Harvey/AIR/Queens of the stone age do not clash;) Also some new acts are announced for WOW and Stay out west: Icona Pop, Arc de Soleil, Olof Dreijer (from the Knife), Diva Cruz, Alba August, Ayla, MRCY, Stella Explorer, Diane Emerita, Jackie Mere and Full Body 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGanzo Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Lineup is great. Though a lot of what I want to see is on at Stay Out West, which is a little concerning as I've been reading about it being tricky to access these concerts. As a newbie, anyone able to advise? Been holding off booking my ticket until the timetable though it's worked out pretty clash-free so far for me. I think they've forgotten to include Slowdive's time though?

I don´t have that much experience with Stay Out West but last year it seemed that many people went there after the last gig so I guess a general rule is to be there earlier before the concerts end on the festival site. I also cannot find Slowdive but there´s a gap in the schedule after Limperatrice at the Linné stage on Friday so perhaps that´s where they fit in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivedal 1904 Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 I don't think they have ever been this early to release the schedule. There might be some smaller names to be added for Höjden stage for Slottsskogen by the looks of it. And a couple of gaps on Friday for Linné stage (one of them probably gonna fit Slowdive as mentioned). Stay Out West lineup far from complete. How early one needs to leave Slottsskogen to get in at Stay out west of course depends on which venue and how popular the club show is. But generally it is enough to leave Slottsskogen right before the last couple of songs of the headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidTourist Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 Slowdive now has a time slot: 11.00-11.59 pm on Friday (colliding with Fred again...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGanzo Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Sad news about The Smile for sure. I wonder will there be a replacement, I know it can be very difficult to organise one so close to the festival but hopefully they can find someone. I see today they have announced the Stay Out West lineup along with some new additions. Friday at Stay Out West for me is crazy, I have to figure out what is going to be possible realistically. Conversely I am not familiar with anyone at all except Mount Kimbie on the Sunday Stay Out West so open to recommendations for late on Saturday night!

Olivedal 1904 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Mount Kimbie is a nice addition. But overall the Stay Out West lineup is weaker than normal. Also a bit weird to have Slowdive closing Slottsskogen and then have Hotline TNT on short after at a club, given the overlapping fan base. I hope they will find a strong replacement for the Smile!

ParanoidTourist Posted July 19 Author Report Share Posted July 19 I'm also extremely gutted about the Smile not appearing but it's the same in every European August festival. Hope they will find a good replacement. Oya festival in Norway replaced the Smile with Air but they are already on WOWs lineup so it should be someone else.
