Swedish House Mafia teases NYC return with cryptic Times Square billboard
Swedish House Mafia may be plotting a return to the Big Apple — and New Yorkers are already losing it. The iconic electronic dance music trio — Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso — sparked a frenzy Wednesday when the supergroup made a surprise announcement in Times Square: 'New York See You Soon. Swedish House Mafia.' 4 The Times Square billboard flashed during a livestream of the group's three-hour Stockholm set, where they debuted a new track, 'Wait So Long.' Getty Images for Atlantis The Royal Advertisement The message flashed on a billboard during a livestream of their three-hour set in Stockholm, where they debuted a new track, 'Wait So Long.' Just a week earlier, they'd wiped their Instagram clean and posted a shadowy photo of the three of them with the cryptic caption '3.0' — a move that racked up nearly 100,000 likes and marked what fans are calling a new era. A screenshot of the billboard's location — West 50th and Broadway — was then posted to the group's Instagram story, sending fans into a frenzy across TikTok, Reddit and EDM fan pages. 'I beg tell me when, I need to be there,' vowed one user on TikTok.

Danielle Tourloukis, 24, a self-described 'huge fan' of Swedish House Mafia who lives in Murray Hill, told the Post that hearing the news gave her 'chills.' 'Can't wait to be dancing to this again,' she wrote in a TikTok from her account @itsdanitour, sharing a video of herself and two friends dancing in the streets of New York to Swedish House Mafia's 'One.'

Getty Images Despite the tease, the group hasn't announced any U.S. dates on their current tour, which has them headlining festivals across Europe. Their last NYC appearance was a surprise April 2024 set at Brooklyn Mirage. Formed in Stockholm in the late 2000s, the group remains one of the most recognizable names in EDM, with smash hits like 'Don't You Worry Child,' 'Save The World' and 'Miami 2 Ibiza.' They have sold out stadiums around the world — including Madison Square Garden in 2011.

Liam Gallagher sends important Oasis set timings message to fans ahead of opening night in Cardiff
Liam Gallagher has sent a message to fans ahead of Oasis' opening night in Cardiff next week. The brothers are due to take to the stage in Cardiff's Principality Stadium next Friday (July 4) on the first top on their Live '25 reunion tour. Announced last August to feverish excitement, anticipation for the band's first gigs in 16 years has been building to a fever pitch in recent weeks. Now, with less than a week to go, Liam took to X this morning (June 28) to confirm what time the band will be taking to the stage. In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote: "OASIS on stage 8:15pm Cardiff don't be late or we'll start without you and you don't want that now do ya see ya there LG x". READ MORE: Noel or Liam - who is your favourite Gallagher brother? As the Principality Stadium has a curfew of 10:30pm, it could well be that fans are treated to a two-hour set - though some were surprised by the news. "That's a bit early Liam," wrote X user @sslideaway. "Don't blame me I do the singing and scowling," Gallagher replied. Others were amused by his apparent turn as stage manager. "You're the band scheduler now?" asked @alivedemo; "Looks like it," he replied. But he soon changed his mind on his apparent new role, responding to a fan asking about set times at Edinburgh Murrayfield: "I've been asked to share this information with you all I'm not doing this every f***ing gig I'm not the TM". Join our Oasis WhatsApp group here The band are to perform 19 shows in the UK and Ireland over July and August, before a string of dates in North America. For any fans worried about the weather in the Welsh capital next week, a fan guide sent out to Ticketmaster customers yesterday confirmed that the roof at the Principality Stadium will be closed. And on Friday (June 27) the band shared a new clip to their Instagram page marking one week to go until the tour kicks off. The opening bars of their 1994 debut single Supersonic play over clips of the stadium being set up - ready to welcome nearly 75,000 eager fans.
