New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 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, Beyonc�, 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.
