Music Video : Swedish House Mafia - Madison Square Performance

Swedish House Mafia to play Madison Square Garden + new live album

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA MAKE HISTORY BY ANNOUNCING ‘ONE NIGHT STAND’ SHOWS AT NYC’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON DECEMBER 16TH AND MILTON KEYNES NATIONAL BOWL IN THE UK ON JULY 14th 2012
Genre-defining, boundary-pushing electronic juggernaut Swedish House Mafia have announced two historic, landmark ‘One Night Stand’ shows on both sides of the Atlantic as they will headline New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden on Friday, Dec. 16th, 2011 and the UK’s legendary 65,000 capacity Milton Keynes National Bowl on July 14th, 2012. These two milestone shows will see Swedish House Mafia - Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso - make history by becoming the first dance act to have headlined both venues. These shows, once again, reaffirm their status as global superstars.
This confirmation comes after much speculation and buzz amongst fans online surrounding the group’s posting earlier this month of a cryptic website www.230911.com which teases with coded numbers and letters that eventually spelled out the venues MSG, MKB and the dates of the soon to be legendary gigs.
Swedish House Mafia will join an enviable list of music legends who have headlined the National Bowl including Oasis, Green Day, Metallica, Eminem and Foo Fighters. The list of artists who have played Madison Square Garden reads like a veritable who’s who of music dating from the late sixties to the present day. Considered ‘The World's Most Famous Arena’, the 130 year old arena has hosted sold out shows by the world’s biggest artists including Lady Gaga, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Jay-Z, Metallica, Beyoncé, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi, Prince, Taylor Swift, The Killers, Green Day, Britney Spears, Kings of Leon, the Dave Matthews Band and many more.
The band are also set to release a live album ‘One Night Stand’ (date tbc) taken from the road this year. The album will feature their much sought-after, previously unavailable Coldplay Vs Swedish House Mafia ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’ plus “Antidote”, their new collaboration with Knife Party (Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen from Pendulum).
The Swedes have already enjoyed phenomenal success to date. Not only did their recent UK tour sell out in minutes which saw a second night added at London’s Alexandra Palace, but they sold over a million singles in 2010 alone and saw their album ‘Until One’ reach Gold status in the UK. They’ve had back-to-back #1 Billboard dance hits this year with “Miami 2 Ibiza” featuring Tinie Tempah and “Save The World,” which has nearly 27 million video views on VEVO. In the UK, Swedish House Mafia co-headlined Radio One’s Big Weekend and played major festivals including Creamfields, T in the Park and Oxegen. They also headlined Electric Daisy Carnival in June, the biggest electronic music festival in the U.S. Internationally, their infamous Masquerade Motel events sold out in Miami, Las Vegas and Ibiza where they enjoyed a sixteen week residency.

New Year’s Eve Events in NYC

RING in the New Year with style. Here is a sampling of the fashionable parties and cool scenes taking place in New York on Friday night.

Q-TIP AT ACE HOTEL

For much of 2010, Friday nights at the ACE HOTEL have belonged to Q-TIP, the legendary rapper who spins a laid-back mix of modern hip-hop and R & B. The party continues this Friday, with Q-Tip lording over the turntables at Liberty Hall downstairs, and THEOPHILUS LONDON and friends spinning in the lobby.

Ace Hotel, 20 West 29th Street; acehotel.com/nycnye; from 9 p.m. Tickets: from $50.

DFA RECORDS AT LE BAIN

Halloween was a hoot, so returning guests can expect many of the same fashion celebs and art-world kids when NOUVEAU YORK hosts a party at LE BAIN, the chlorinated lounge atop the Standard Hotel. DFA RECORDS is a host. Not fancy enough? Go next door to the Top of the Standard — a k a the BOOM BOOM ROOM — where MARIANNE FAITHFULL will perform before a black-tie crowd.

The Standard, NY, 44 West 13th Street; standardhotels.com; from 10 p.m. Tickets: for Le Bain, from $30; Top of the Standard, from $250.

FRIDAY FOR MISTER SATURDAY

Mum’s the word on the Danger party, the Brooklyn warehouse rave that was a victim of its own success. The party has been reimagined as an “immaculate and private” gathering. Everyone else is being steered toward MISTER SATURDAY NIGHT, the roaming dance party hosted by the D.J.’s JUSTIN CARTER and EAMON HARKIN. They’re keeping the location under wraps, except to say that it is a “multiroom event space” in Brooklyn not far from the subway.

Undisclosed Brooklyn location; mistersaturdaynight.com; from 9 p.m. Tickets: $50.

Marquee Goes West

Marquee just turned seven, an eternity in clubland. But if the New Year’s Eve party seems tamer this year, that’s because the real action is in Las Vegas, where the nightlife veterans behind this Chelsea club are opening a 60,000-square-foot outpost at the COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS. Florence and the Machine plays tonight, followed by D.J. Erick Morillo on Friday (tickets: $300, at marqueelasvegas.com).

Marquee, 289 10th Avenue (27th Street); marqueeny.com; from 8:30 pm. Tickets: from $125.

‘DENIZENS’ at Dixon Place

Don’t forget to disco nap. Gay-circuit partygoers can hop from the Angel Orensanz Center (a Truman Capote-inspired BLACK AND WHITE BALL), to the Roseland Ballroom (EVOLVE with D.J. Victor Calderone) and then to Pacha (MATINEE, from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday). A low-key alternative is being held at DIXON PLACE, where Earl Dax, John Cameron Mitchell, Mark Tusk and Penny Arcade are giving a party for “denizens of downtown.”

Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street (Delancey Street); dixonplace.org;

from 9 p.m. Tickets: $20.

Snooki Curls Up

Unless you’re Anderson Cooper or Kathy Griffin, the only place to be in Times Square is MTV, where WHITNEY CUMMINGS is hosting a live, 90-minute telecast with performances by Flo Rida and others. At midnight, Nicole Polizzi (a k a SNOOKI) will be lowered into Times Square in a ball to ring in 2011.

MTV, 1515 Broadway (Times Square); mtv.com; from 10:30 p.m. Invitation only. DENNY LEE
