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.   The first round of tickets were auctioned off in December and with under a third of the tickets sold, an astonishing $447,000 was raised and a smaller second round earlier this month raised an additional $27,418.   Legendary Pete Tong will fly in to support Swedish House Mafia at this special event alongside Carl Kennedy.  In addition to the money raised by Black Tie Rave, all people guest listed on any date of the tour will be asked to make a donation to Save The Children.

The Swede’s highly anticipated One Last Tour is finally hitting stateside this week, kicking off tomorrow night with 5 shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.  Anticipation for One Last Tour has been building since the dates were announced last year.   The originally announced U.S. dates all sold out in minutes causing the group to add multiple shows.  One Last Tour has become one of the biggest tours of the year and is the group’s most extensive outing ever.   It will visit Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, NYC, Los Angeles and come to a close in Miami at ULTRA where Swedish House Mafia will play their final gig together.  The full line up for One Last Tour was revealed last month. Armand Van Helden will play his first NYC gig in five years when he joins the Swedes at Madison Square Gardenon March 1^st alongside the Legendary Pete Tong.
