This past May, Avicii’s hometown of Stockholm made the commendable decision to rebrand its iconic Ericsson Globe—a place where Avicii himself headlined in 2012—to the Avicii Arena in honor of the late dance music legend. To follow through on the Avicii Arena’s intention of shining a light on mental health awareness, the Stockholm venue has now announced its debut event in remembrance of Avicii with the For A Better Day concert on December 1.Scheduled just four days shy of the two-year anniversary of the Avicii Tribute Concert, For A Better Day will be hosted in partnership with the Tim Bergling Foundation within the 15,000-person capacity venue and is planned to be an annual event each December. The mission-driven event will see performances from Swedish artists like Galantis, Miriam Bryant as well as Ella Tiritiello and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, who shared a chilling rendition of “For A Better Day” when the arena name change was first disclosed. The For A Better Day concert will be conducted by Stefan Olsson—who led the Avicii Tribute Concert from 2019—and will feature “tributes to Avicii’s musical heritage as well as collaborations and surprise guests” in addition to other mental health awareness initiatives.
