Swedish House Mafia, the trio of Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso, announced a headline New Year’s performance at Pier 80 in San Francisco, California – the only confirmed U.S. show ahead of ringing in 2026.

Set against the iconic San Francisco Bay, Pier 80 features an expansive, 200,000-plus square foot warehouse space, known for hosting the Portola Music Festival produced by Goldenvoice, which is also the producer of the Swedish House Mafia New Year’s performance.

Formed in 2008, Swedish House Mafia— Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso— quickly established themselves as one of the most influential acts in electronic music.

The trio were the first electronic act to headline and sell out Madison Square Garden, Dec. 16, 2011 – a show that sold 14,497 tickets and grossed $963,614, according to the boxoffice report submitted to Pollstar at the time.

They were also the first electronic headline act to close Coachella’s mainstage in 2012. They returned to headline one weekend of the festival in 2022, after Ye pulled out.

Their record-breaking “One Last Tour” was followed by a surprise set as headliners of Ultra Music Festival’s 20th anniversary in 2018. The following year, they launched the “Save The World Reunion Tour,” and shifted their focus toward a new priority: their first full-length studio album.

Released in 2022, Paradise Again was the result of nearly two years in the studio. The group rebuilt their sound from the ground up, drawing on analog synthesis, experimentation, and collaboration. “We needed to find sounds in the studio we had never heard before,” commented Steve Angello. “This is one of the most exciting times for us. We’re having fun like 15-year-olds again.” The “Paradise Again World Tour” followed, covering 29 cities in 11 countries across two continents.

In 2023 and 2024, Swedish House Mafia returned to the stage with key performances at Tomorrowland, Brooklyn Mirage, and their first-ever Ibiza residency at Ushuaïa.

The Brooklyn Mirage show at Avant Gardner in Brooklyn, NY, April 27, 2024 moved 4,989 at a $508,830 gross.

In 2025, they launched Superhuman—their new creative home and label.

The only other show announced for next year, so far, is on Aug. 29, 2026, at the 43,000-capacity Ullevi Arena in Gothenburg, Sweden – the band’s biggest show to date.

Swedish House Mafia are represented by Wasserman Music worldwide. They are managed by Wassim Slaiby’s SALXCO.
