The 35,000 capacity Masquerade Motel is the Los Angeles stop on the Swedish House Mafia massive world-wide One Last Tour.  Tickets for the originally announced March 9^th date sold out within 30 minutes so an additional date on March 8^th was added.  One Last Tour, which is the group’s most extensive outing ever, started last month in Dubai and is currently making its way across Europe.  In 2013 will visit Asia, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, South Africa and Australia before reaching stateside on February 13^th.  The North American leg will hit San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, NYC, LA and Miami.   It was announced last month that the final curtain call for One Last Tour will happen at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, marking a significant milestone in the group’s career together.  Ultra is where Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso played their first festival headline in North America.  They will play both the opening night of the festival on March 15^th and the closing on March 24^th in what is sure to be an emotional farewell to the group’s millions of fans across the globe and promises to create unrivaled memories for fans and the group alike.  A full list of tour dates can be found below.

Last week, Swedish House Mafia announced that they will throw a Black Tie Rave on February 28^th at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC to benefit Hurricane Sandy relief.   The intimate fundraiser will happen the day before their first of four sold out arena shows in NYC.   The first round of tickets were auctioned off last Friday, Dec. 14^th http://www.ticketmaster.com and with under a third of the ticket available the band raised $437000 in income for the charity.  Another round of bidding is expected to be announced in January.  Swedish House Mafia will donate 100% of the net proceeds from the Black Tie Rave to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund in support of hurricane relief efforts.  The Mayor’s Fund retains no administrative fee, and one hundred percent of donations are being dispersed to relief efforts and organizations.  Funds will support immediate aid needs – including food, cleaning materials and hygiene supplies – as well as long-term relief and restoration.  New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and First Lady Mary Pat Christie launched the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund four days after Hurricane Sandy devastated the Garden State, to help communities recover, rebuild and come back stronger than before.
