I take this as an indicator that QOTSA might not be available in August. Are more announcements expected this week?

 

Nothing for certain but last year they made announcements 4 days in a row among which 2 were headliner announcements.

Øyafestivalen will announce more in a "few days", so could be more from Way Out West this week.

Anybody know roughly how much the tickets cost last year?

Final price was 2395 SEK if I remember correctly

Anyone know what day Chappell is playing?

[mortand]

She's doing Øya Wednesday the 6th and Syd for solen Thursday the 7th, so I'd assume Friday the 8th.

Thanks! Going for Syd for solen now as its a short bike ride for me. Mrs FrogLobster has already gone nuclear with excitement and we haven't even got tickets yet. 🤣

Solid start and the headliner announcements are yet still to come. 

 

Edit: Unless Chappell Roan is a headliner but she is not listed as one and they usually announce headliners separately. 

 

Not my cup of tea but I would assume Chapell Roan will headline her day. Thinking she will likely even be the biggest name of the lineup next year.

Much prefer Fontaines DC and Khruangbin.

I agree! And she might indeed headline: I don´t think I realised how popular she is. She could potentially be in a co-headline structure like they did with Pulp/Fred again last year.

 

Anyway, hoping we will get something like Nick Cave or QOTSA among the rest of the headliners (apart from Radiohead of course but that´s probably wishful thinking).

I'm surprised he hasn't been announced for anything yet, though he was a shoe in for the likes of werchter.

Yes same here. And no word from the Cure either.

Didn't they say they won't be doing festivals a month or so ago.

Yes, they did actually. It seems they will only start touring in the autumn, 

[NorthernSoul52]

Can't say the first announcement blew me away, but aware it will for a lot of other people.

Oya confirmed QOTSA, Fontaines DC, Kneecap and Nilufer Yanya this morning.

That´s great! That highly improves the chances of QOTSA showing up for Way Out West.

Am I going mad or were they not there last year? I should I assume they pulled out cause they were on the line up?

Yes, they were originally on the line-up last year but cancelled all their late-summer gigs (including WOW) due to Josh being ill. Same thing happened with the Smile.

Having QOTSA and Fontaines most likely makes me fly to Goteborg another time. Really enjoyed 2024. Can't wait for the announcement so I can check for flights etc.

 

[ParanoidTourist]

First early bird tickets are released on Monday morning so I hope that means we get another announcement in the coming days. 

[mortand]

QOTSA announced for Syd for solen, so I assume they're back on the WOW lineup again.

Yeah it seems very likely now. I'm guessing they will be announced next week.

[Marty76]

Time for new names, at least tell us QOTSA are there please...

Yeah, I totally agree! Should be soon though: if last year is anything to go by, they announced 4 more acts on December 1st and then announced the Smile on December 8th.
