The three members of Swedish House Mafia – Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell (a.k.a. Axel Christofer Hedfors) – began DJing in a Stockholm pizza parlor in the early 2000s. In July, they'll headline the 65,000-seat National Bowl at Milton Keynes in England (an occasion they note on their website as their last UK show), followed by a date in Ibiza and one in Sweden. "The final leg of this journey will be announced in August," the statement says.
