The trio, comprising of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello, emerged onstage from a dark background, to a baying crowd, before grabbing a mic, and announcing ”

“I am Axwell, I am Sebastian Ingrosso, and I am Steve Angelo,” the group said.

“And Miami, tonight we go by Swedish House Mafia.” you can check out the footage of their set below.

Fittingly, Ultra Festival was the site of the group’s initial final performance, back in 2013. The trio wasted no time, launching into a career-spanning set, featuring crowd favourites like ‘Save the World’, Greyhound’, and concluding with a pyrotechnic-enhanced rendition of ‘One.’

There had been rumours of a SHM reunion for some time, with the band’s logo appearing around the streets of Miami in the weeks prior. The group took to Twitter to confirm their return after the festival, simply stating ‘IT WAS TIME.’

Axwell had been fuelling rumours of a reunion since as far back as 2016, when he admitted to NME that he was open to the group returning to the stage and studio.

“I think we’re all in our happy places right now. Having said that it would be stupid of me to say never [to a reunion]” he said.

“Maybe one day something will happen inside of us that says ‘boom’. But it’s more [likely to be] coming from us than at a festival.”

The Project is now entering it’s eighth year of delivering the biggest names in house, trance and techno and is showing no sign of slowing down, with some absolutely huge names announced to ensure the dance floor resembles a slew of people moving uncontrollably to the beats booming through the air.

Former Swedish House Mafia maestro Axwell opens the happenings on the launch night, appearing alongside fellow dance music juggernauts including Armand van Helden and Mark Knight. During the rest of the season, which runs from 27th of September until shortly after New Years Day, titans from the scene will be appearing to encourage non stop movement from the 5000 strong crowd, including performances from Disclosure, Rudimental, Major Lazer, The Chemical Brothers and tonnes more.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday 26th July) and range from £25 to £28.50. If you are a fan of any form of dance music, this is an event you will not want to miss.
