Swedish Music Festival Announces Chance To Win Free Tickets If You Pledge To Donate Your Kidney

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)
