Our Malmö, Sweden-based photographer Ian Pearce (above) hit up this year’s Way Out West Festivalundoubtedly the Scandanavian country’s best annual showcase of musical and culture.

Having took place in Göteborg from 8-10 August, this year’s line-up was something else altogether. Headlined by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the bill featured everyone from The Knife and Godspeed You! Black Emperor to Haim and Public Enemy.

Take time to sift through Mr Pearce’s extraordinary trove of visual awesome below!
