Experience Bonnie "Prince" Billy live on August 14th

Will Oldham, performing as Bonnie “Prince” Billy, is scheduled to appear at Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden on August 14th, 2026. Oldham’s music is generally categorized as alternative country, though it frequently incorporates elements of folk, experimental rock, and often features unconventional song structures and lyrical content. His work is known for its raw emotionality, often delivered with a distinctive vocal style and sparse instrumentation. He has released albums under numerous monikers including Palace Music and The For Carnations.

Way Out West is an annual music festival held in Slottsskogen, a large park in Gothenburg. Established in 2007, the festival focuses on a curated selection of internationally renowned artists across various genres including indie rock, hip-hop, electronic music and more. It distinguishes itself through its urban location – being directly within the city limits rather than a remote festival site – and its commitment to sustainability initiatives. The festival typically features multiple stages and aims to create an intimate atmosphere despite hosting significant crowds. Past performers have included artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Patti Smith and Robyn. It consistently draws a diverse audience from both Sweden and internationally.
