For music fans in Sweden who are short on cash but eager to attend the upcoming Way Out West Festival, organizers have devised an unconventional payment option. The annual three-day event, taking place in Slottsskogen from August 7-9, is offering a limited number of free tickets through its “The Kidney Pass” initiative. The pass provides hopeful attendees the chance to win a 3-day ticket to the sold-out festival in exchange for signing up for the National Organ Registry. The post notes that recent years have seen a 30% decline in organ donor registrations, prompting the festival’s unique proposal. To be eligible, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a Swedish social security number. The festival’s 2025 lineup features a diverse array of musical acts, including Charli xcx, Chappell Roan, Lola Young, Queens of the Stone Age, and Iggy Pop. (People)
