After exploding on to the scene in 2010, the Swedes followed up their huge genre-defining club track ‘One’ with the Worldwide platinum-selling single ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ featuring Tinie Tempah. Both tracks appeared on their double gold-selling compilation album ‘Until One’, which is still in the top 50 chart nearly two years after its release. The boys followed this with top 10 UK single ‘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 10 minutes. 2012 so far has seen the release of their highest charting single to date – ‘Antidote’ - a collaboration with Pendulum’s Knife Party, a second bigger and better Masquerade Motel in Miami and the release of the incendiary ‘Greyhound’ (an all-Swedish collaboration with Absolut Vodka).
This Summer SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA bid a glorious farewell to the UK in spectacular fashion with their biggest headline show to date at Milton Keynes Bowl against a show-stopping backdrop of lasers, fireworks and flames.


Swedish House Mafia "Education"
They’re a Swedish electronic dance music (EDM) trio consisting of three house DJ’s and
producers, each hugely successful in their own right; Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebasitan Ingrosso

Angello and Ingrosso met as children in Stockholm; Axwell did not become a member until years later when they contacted him after a chance meeting.

Their first joint production, “Get Dumb”, was produced with Laidback Luke in 2007
They officially formed in 2008

They followed this with “Leave the World Behind” in 2009, produced with Laidback Luke and Deborah Cox

In 2010 they signed a record deal with UMG’s Polydor Records, after a fallout from EMI due to differing ideas

Their first official single, “One (Your Name)”, was released on Beatport in 2010 where it achieved international success, charting at #7 in the UK singles chart

Their next single, “Miami 2 Ibiza”, charted at #4

They placed at #10 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s in 2011

On 12th March 2012, they released their latest single “Greyhound”, which subsequently became part of a global Absolut vodka campaign

On September 17, 2012, SHM announced the October 22, 2012 release of a second compilation album, Until Now, forming the official soundtrack to One Last Tour, their last official global tour

On 24 June 2012, it was announced via the group's website that the final leg of their 2012 tour would be their last: "Today we want to share with you, that the tour we are about to go on will be our last. We want to thank every single one of you that came with us on this journey. We came, we raved, we loved."

They stated three show dates, with the last leg of their tour set to be announced in August. It is unknown whether the group members will collaborate with each other again. In an interview with Rolling Stone in regards to the group's breakup, Angello said that "we just decided that we reached a point where we didn't know what the next move would be," and that "we've had beyond our dreams and we've come very, very far"; Angello also stated that he is focusing on developing his own label, Size Records, while on hiatus.

On September 24, 2012, Swedish House Mafia announced the dates for their farewell tour appropriately named "One Last Tour." The tour will kick off in November 2012 and conclude in March 2013.
