Overview

  • Organizers opened sign-ups for the Kidney Pass on August 5, inviting fans to join the Swedish National Organ Donation Registry for a chance at free three-day tickets to the August 7–9 festival.
  • Entrants must be at least 18 years old and hold a Swedish social security number to participate in the giveaway.
  • Successful applicants will receive a wristband declaring “I gave a kidney for this ticket,” though signing up does not obligate anyone to donate and registrants can opt out or adjust their preferences at any time.
  • The Kidney Pass initiative addresses a more than 30% drop in Swedish organ registry enrollments and leverages festival demand to promote public health.
  • Aside from the Kidney Pass entries, all regular tickets have sold out, with headliners including Charli XCX, Iggy Pop and Queens of the Stone Age.
