Steve Angello Brings Out Sebastian Ingrosso For ‘Save The World’ During His Tomorrowland 2018 Set
The reunion of Swedish House Mafia has been the largest storyline in dance music so far in 2018. Ever since the group took the stage together for the first time five years at Ultra Miami in March, fans have been calling for a reunion tour. Steve Angello confirmed it during an interview with a Swedish news out a month ago, and since then, excitement has been at a fever pitch level.
This excitement is so palpable it seems that anytime a company uses three of its logos in a row, just as a viral marketing campaign in Miami did to announce the reunion of Swedish House Mafia, it is connected as a potential sign of a coming tour.
While we know that the group will be reuniting officially in 2019, fans are eager to catch a glimpse of Swedish House Mafia on stage together before. Due to many festivals booking both Steve Angello and Axwell/Ingrosso, fans have been praying. During Tomorrowland 2018, 2/3’s of the group returned to the same stage and not the 2/3’s that has been touring together for five years.
Steve Angello invited Sebastian Ingrosso on stage to play out Swedish House Mafia’s iconic anthem, ‘Save the World’. It was a special moment that will be remembered for quite some time. Check out a fan video of the moment below.
The Reunion Delivered On The Hype
Swedish House Mafia made good on the promise. The trio’s full reunion tour launched in 2019, taking the stage together at massive shows across the world and giving fans the complete package this Tomorrowland moment could only hint at. It ended up being one of the most successful comeback stories in modern dance music, with the group going on to release new music and tour arenas well beyond what most reunion runs typically manage.
Moments like this Angello/Ingrosso team-up at Tomorrowland were basically the appetizer for that whole run – fans got just enough of a taste to send hype into overdrive months before the official announcement. Looking back, it’s clear the group was building toward the reunion the entire time, testing the waters with moments like this one before going all in.
