    02/05/2019
    Tele2 Arena, Johanneshov, Sweden

    In 2012 one of the world’s largest electronic acts throughout the ages announced that they were going to say goodbye, even though they were on top of a breakthrough record career.

     

    Swedish House Mafia Toured worldwide with their farewell tour and quickly became the best selling electronic act throughout the ages. On their last tour together, the three sold out shows at Friends Arena in Stockholm resulted in 133,000 fans attending – their first and last gigs at home.

     

    Six years have passed and fans around the world have hoped and wondered if they would ever see the trio again. The dream of a reunited Swedish House Mafia is now coming true, and Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello have chosen to put things behind and reunite – not only as the Swedish House Mafia and as artists, but perhaps most importantly – as three best friends with a message.
