Is 2018 the Year of a Swedish House Mafia Reunion?

There were rumors of a reunion this time last year, to no avail. Maybe it'll happen this go round! Taylor Swift made a similar move earlier in the year, clearing all her social media profiles in preparation for her latest release REPUTATION. The last time the group played was in 2013.


After exploding on to the North American scene in 2010 at ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL with a main stage performance, the Swedes followed up their huge genre-defining club track "One" with the worldwide platinum-selling single "Miami 2 Ibiza" featuring Tinie Tempah, their first single to hit #1 on the Billboard club chart. Both tracks appeared on their 2010 compilation album Until One, which is still in the U.K. top 50 chart nearly two years after its release. The boys followed this with their second Billboard club chart topper and Grammy-nominated "Save The World" last summer, also a huge hit around the globe.

They ended 2011 playing to 20,000 people at New York's Madison Square Garden which sold out in a staggering nine minutes. This year has seen the release of the incendiary "Greyhound" and "Antidote" (a collaboration with Knife Party that reached #3 on the Billboard club chart) and in October SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA released their latest compilation album Until Now on Astralwerks. It rose to #4 on the iTunes album chart and debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200, marking the highest chart position and highest first week sales for a DJ-mixed album ever. The album debuted at #1 in the U.K. and top 10 in seven other countries. Until Now features the Swede's third #1 Billboard club chart topper "Don't You Worry Child" featuring John Martin, which is currently storming up the Top 40 charts. It recently hit #1 in the U.K., beating Adele's "Skyfall."
