Save the World Reunion Tour

In October 2018, a timer appeared on Swedish House Mafia's official website which was set to end on October 22.[12][13] That day the group held a press conference which they revealed that a worldwide tour would occur the following year and their first stop would be Stockholm's Tele2 Arena. The one night event was upgraded to three the following week due to high demand.[7][8][14] In November, billboards located in Mexico City teased a show in the city, at the end of a second timer, the group announced they would play at Foro Sol on May 18.[15] At the end of the month, following another successive timer and billboards appearing in respective cities, Swedish House Mafia announced they would play Tinderbox, Stavernfestivalen, Frequency Festival, and Creamfields as part of their tour,[16] whilst February 2019 saw Ultra Europe, Ultra Korea, and Lollapalooza added to the list.[17] On April 10, 2019, it was announced that Swedish House Mafia would close the world's biggest EDM festival, Tomorrowland, during the summer of that year,[18] with the group also announcing a one-day residency, the preceding Friday, at Ibiza's Ushuaïa night club as part of their tour.[19][20][21] Two days before the opening show, pilots of Scandinavian Airlines when on strike over pay. This affected a higher estimated of 35,000 of the 120,000 attending the Tele2 Arena over the three days.[22][23] Despite this, 43,000 people attended the Tele2 Arena and watched their first show in since Ultra Miami 2018.

Two new IDs were played, supporting the promise of new music.[24][25][26][27][28] The first was their set opener, "It Gets Better".[29] In July 2021, a "radically revised version" of the track became the trio's first release since reuniting, and the first single off their album, Paradise Again.[30] The second, with the working title "Underneath it All", remains unreleased.[31][32][33] Until the group members Axwell released 2 songs "It Gets Better (2019 Version)" in November 2021 and "Underneath it All" in July 2022 via Dropbox[34][35]

The same setlist was also used during the show at Foro Sol, Mexico City, and remained similar throughout the tour.[45]

Alternate Setlists

• A new reworked version of "For Sale" was premiered at Open'er Festival on July 6.[46]
• Swedish House Mafia debuted a new track featuring A$AP Rocky, titled "Frankenstein", during their Ultra Europe performance. The song was then released on Paradise Again.[47]

In an article about the first two shows at the Tele2 Arena, British EDM and Clubbing magazine Mixmag described the "long-awaited" reunion as a "historic comeback show" and that "Swedish House Mafia's climactic return to dance music" "[brought] nostalgia" to the "tens of thousands of people" who watched a show with good balance of promised new music and "many of the classics". The reunion was met with "deafening cheers" from the fans.[48]

The show at Foro Sol was described by fellow EDM magazine Groove Cartel, as "another great show of the monumental tour",[45] and EDM.com describing it as a "jaw-dropping production".[49]

Following their performance at Open'er Festival, Swedish House Mafia received criticism for their tour; with EDM magazine Your EDM saying the tour relied too much on nostalgia for ticket sales as supposed to anything new. The magazine however praised the show saying the "epic" performance was "as sweet as ever".[50]

The highly anticipated Creamfields performance was sold out to an 80,000 strong crowd. However the show was overshadowed by another "mystery date"—typical of the tour. The date was scheduled for 6 September, the day before Lollapalooza, where they are to perform. The leading hypothesis is that the date is the day where new music is to be released in accordance with Pop culture's "NewMusicFriday".[51][52][53] However the date turned out to be a give away for 33 life time passes to all future Swedish House Mafia shows.[54]

The tour ended with Swedish House Mafia opening the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix to a crowd of 45,000 people. The show was typical of their open air performances throughout the tour with a show dominated by pyrotechnics and lasers. The show, being their first in Asia since One Last Tour, was full of their usual hits with Axwell describing the crowd as "the best in Asia".[55]
