Ten years ago today, Avicii closed out his final show at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Now, for the first time, you can watch the whole thing. Pophouse and the Avicii estate released the complete, unedited set on the Avicii Community platform on Friday, timed exactly to the tenth anniversary of that August 28, 2016 performance.

Here’s what makes this one different from every Avicii clip you’ve seen floating around: the footage comes from a GoPro that was mounted on stage behind the decks, rolling continuously through the entire set. No cuts, no editing, no cameraman deciding what mattered. Just Tim Bergling, the booth, and the crowd at Ushuaïa for one last night. According to the announcement, it’s the first time a complete Avicii set has ever been made available to the public in an official capacity — which, when you think about how thoroughly documented his career was, is kind of remarkable.

Fragments of this footage already appeared in the Netflix documentary Avicii — My Last Show, but this release is the uninterrupted performance, start to finish. If you want a taste of what that night felt like before diving into the full thing, the official channel previously shared his performance of “Addicted To You” from the same set:

The context makes it heavy, obviously. Bergling had already written his retirement letter to fans before stepping on stage that night, and the Ushuaïa show ended up being the last time he ever performed live. He died in 2018 at just 28. That’s part of why this release feels less like content and more like an archive finally opening its doors — it’s the closing chapter of one of dance music’s defining careers, preserved exactly as it happened.

The drop caps off a week of anniversary tributes. We covered the 10th anniversary screening event in Stockholm last week, and alongside the full set, the Avicii Community platform also launched a fan gallery where you can upload your own photos and videos from his shows over the years. Got footage from a 2013 True Tour stop buried in your camera roll? This is where it belongs.

Ten years on, the “Levels” era still casts a longer shadow over this scene than just about anything else. Carve out the time this weekend and watch the whole set — it’s worth it.
