Swedish House Mafia to Be First Dance/Electronic Headliner at New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium

Swedish House Mafia will play a major standalone U.S. show on Sept. 11 when the group headlines New York City’s Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The show will make the trio the first dance/electronic headliner at the 23,000-capacity venue located in Queens. The show marks a sort of comeback for the group, who, according to a press release, is entering its “3.0” era and bringing “a completely reimagined version of what fans may expect from dance artists,” with the show promised to be “unlike anything [fans have] ever experienced before with an all-new energy to the live sets.”

The show announcement follows the June release of the latest Swedish House Mafia single, “Wait So Long.” The track is the group’s first release on its newly launched label, SUPERHUMAN MUSIC. SHM member Axwell also released a new solo track, “Until the Lights Go Out,” in May, with Sebastian Ingrosso also dropping “No Enemies” in April.

Given that the show is happening on the 24-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the group is partnering with fundraising platform PLUS1 to donate a dollar from every ticket sold goes to organizations benefitting people affected by the 2001 disaster. The final donation amount will be matched by Swedish House Mafia.

The Sept. 11 date is currently the only U.S. show that Swedish House Mafia has on the calendar. The group’s upcoming sets include Tomorrowland 2025 (if the festival moves ahead as expected following the mainstage fire on July 16), the St. Tropez edition of Palm Tree Festival on July 26 and Creamfields in the U.K. on Aug. 23.
