SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR NORTH AMERICAN LEG OF THEIR MASSIVE ONE LAST TOUR

On Feb. 28^th, the Swedes will hold a Black Tie Rave charity event at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom.  The first round of tickets were auctioned off in December and with under a third of the tickets sold, an astonishing $437,000 was raised for the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund in support of hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

Swedish House Mafia have just announced the second auction will take place on Feb. 1^st at 10am EST at http://www.ticketmaster.com. The auction will support Save the Children’s initiative to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in America, where nearly one in four lives in poverty. In the wake of the school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14^th, the organization is calling for a National Commission on Children that will address the issues of violence, mental health and poverty.

Starting bid is $100.00 per ticket and fans can purchase a minimum of 2 tickets and maximum of 4 tickets.  More info available at  www.blacktieraave.com.  In addition anyone on the guest list for the U.S. tour will be asked to donate and optional $10.00 at the door for Save The Children.

“During the process of planning the Black Tie Rave, the Newton tragedy happened and we decided that as we had already raised more money than we had hoped for, that we would add Save The Children to the list of charities who will benefit from this event.  Their work helping children who have suffered violence of all kinds is incredible and it felt right to bring them into what fundraising efforts we can achieve through this tour,” said Swedish House Mafia.

It’s also confirmed that Pete Tong will fly in to support Swedish House Mafia at this special event alongside Carl Kennedy!
