19 of the original singers on Avicii\u2019s biggest tracks, including\u00a0AloeBlacc, Adam Lambert, Alex Ebert, Rita Ora and Joe Janiak (see full list below)\u00a0<\/strong>, will come together with a 30 pc band to perform a two hour headline set of his original music on December 5 at the Friends Arena in Stockholm for the\u00a0Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness<\/strong>, the Avicii team announced today.\u00a0 The event will open with\u00a0 headline DJ sets from David Guetta, Kygo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Laidback Luke and Nicky Romero, all close friends of Tim Bergling.\u00a0Produced by The Tim Bergling Foundation, all net profits from the Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness go to supporting organizations which address mental health needs and suicide prevention.\u00a0 Tickets go on sale September 5, 2019, at 10:00am CET.\u00a0 For the latest information about artists added to the line-up and tickets, \u00a0go to Aviciitributeconcert.com and Ticketmaster.se.\u00a0\u201cTim had plans for his music to be performed together with a large live band, and now we are realizing his dream and giving fans a chance to experience his music in this unique way,\u201d says Klas Bergling, Tim\u2019s father.\u00a0The Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness will be the first time that most of Avicii\u2019s greatest tracks have ever been performed live and also the first time that so many of the singers and collaborators whose performances and productions made his music so special gathered together in one historic moment to perform his music. \u00a0Fans can expect uplifting and intensely emotional experience, just as his music was when he created it.\u00a0When the superstar artist and producer known to millions of fans around the world as Avicii but known to friends as Tim died on April 20, 2018 it sent a shockwave around the world, the global mourning an equal and opposite reaction to the Swedish producer\u2019s intensely uplifting music and the reach it had during his comet streak of a career. \u00a0\u00a0Fans and fellow artists called him passionate, groundbreaking, the gold standard for timeless electronic music. \u00a0At the\u00a0Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness<\/strong>\u00a0fans worldwide will come together with his collaborators to honor his music and legacy.\u00a0\u201cWe are grateful that his friends, producers, artists and colleagues are coming to Stockholm to help.\u00a0 They have all expressed a sincere interest and desire to engage in efforts to stem the tide of mental illness and lend their support to our work with the Tim Bergling Foundation. We are very much looking forward to this evening, which will be a starting point for the foundation’s work going forward.\u00a0\u201cEvery year around 1500 people take their own lives in Sweden and globally up to one million. \u00a0It is a tragedy that affects families, communities and with long-term effects on relatives who live on in grief. It is a global crisis and the second most common cause of death among young people aged 15-29 *. We want this concert to help put the topic on the agenda and pay attention to the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide. Policies and tools are needed to detect the risks and prevent suicide, especially among young people,\u201d says Klas Bergling, Tim\u2019s father.\u00a0\u00a0*According to the Worldwide Health Organization.\u00a0https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/suicide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
