Sweden’s Way Out West Festival is offering fans a chance to see Charli XCX and Chappell Roan — in exchange for their kidneys. Not literally, of course. But the festival is giving away a limited number of tickets to individuals who sign up for Sweden’s national organ donor registry.
With signs up for Sweden’s donor registry having decreased by 30% in recent years, organizers for Way Out West have teamed up with Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare to highlight the importance of organ donation. And as this year’s Way Out West is quite literally sold-out, this is really the only way to secure access into the festival.
“We know people would do almost anything to get into Way Out West,” said festival manager Kimmie Winroth.“This time, you can actually do some good. It’s the most meaningful festival ticket you’ll ever get.”
