The festival area in Slottsskogen will be subject to the Swedish Police Authority’s decision of a total bag ban. This means that no bags are allowed to be brought into the public festival area. The ban also applies to handbags, tote bags and transparent bags. Wallets and small toiletry bags that fit in your pocket are not covered by the ban.
We primarily refer to the Police Authority’s information page for answers to common questions: https://polisen.se/lagar-och-regler/vaskforbud-pa-storre-evenemang/
Here is some more information regarding the bag ban that may help in planning your visit.
– The size regulations for wallets and toiletry bags will be 10x15x5 cm. If you have a wallet with a strap within these measurements, please remove the strap when entering the site.
– As usual, tote bags will be available within the festival area. You may NOT bring an empty tote bag.
– Sanitary products (including tampons and sanitary pads) will be available free of charge within the festival area.
– There are still lockers located just outside of the festival area available to pre-book. In addition, there will also be a few lockers that can not be booked in advance. The same goes for the lockers on the inside which will not be possible to pre-book.
– Exceptions are made for people who, for medical reasons, need to bring a bag. If you need medications, equipment or similar you may bring a bag. However, it is important that only one bag is brought, and that it is appropriately sized for the medical products you need. Please be ready to provide relevant documentation when entering the festival site. Feel free to contact us at info@wayoutwest.se if you have any questions.
