Swedish House Mafia fills Ullevi after storm chaos, sets Nordic electronic music record

Swedish House Mafia's Friday show at Ullevi was interrupted by thunderstorms. But after rain comes sunshine. On Saturday, the group broke the Nordic audience record for electronic music, according to Live Nation.

Due to thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, the decision was made to evacuate Ullevi in connection with Friday's major concert, under high-profile circumstances.

As a stopgap, the group arranged a free gig on Avenyn in Gothenburg on Saturday - which attracted around 40,000 people - and when it was time for revenge at Ullevi later that day, even more people came.

A packed Ullevi, with a total of 65,972 people in the audience, marks the group's largest concert in Sweden ever. According to Live Nation, the audience figure is also the highest for electronic music in the Nordics.
