    Sweden’s Way Out West Festival Allows Fans to Pledge Their Kidney for a Ticket

    As Sweden’s Way Out West festival draws closer, the sold-out event is offering free passes to potential patrons willing to donate their organs.

    Taking place from Aug. 7-9 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Way Out West’s 2025 edition has been in high demand, thanks largely to a lineup that features the likes of Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Pet Shop Boys, Iggy Pop, Kneecap, and many more.

    With tickets sold out and disappointed music-lovers likely proclaiming a willingness to sell their organs to attend, festival organizers have now launched the fittingly-named Kidney Pass.

    “This year, tickets to Way Out West sold out earlier than ever,” the festival’s website explains. “With no tickets left, the FOMO kicks in hard. People start saying they’d give up just about anything to get one. One phrase you often hear when tickets are gone? ‘I’d give a kidney for a ticket.’”

    The Kidney Pass can be obtained by signing up the Donation Registry, which allows individuals over the age of 18 (and with a Swedish social security number) to opt-in to the concept of their organs being donated in the event of their passing. Interested parties are then able to send their sign-up confirmation to Way Out West and are then put in the running for a three-day festival pass.

    “By joining it, you’re not just saying you’d give a kidney for a ticket, you’re showing you truly support organ donation – by being willing to donate your organs after your death,” the festival explains.

    The festival also points out that simply signing up to the Donation Registry doesn’t amount to an obligation to do so, with the ability to make preferences for potentially donating organs and tissues, to make exceptions, or to remove one’s registration being available at all times.

    Though Way Out West also underlines the fact that “registration does not guarantee a ticket” due to the fact that “only a limited amount is available,” it appears successful registrants will receive their free pass by way of a wristband that boldly states “I gave a kidney for this ticket.”
