Alison Wonderland, Tiësto, Kygo, Armin van Buuren and more have paid tribute to Avicii

Last week the dance world was rocked by the news that superstar DJ and producer Avicii had been founf dead. The Swedish artist was found dead in Muscat, Oman. He was 28 years old. In the days since, a number of high-profile dance acts have paid tribute to the late artist during their sets.

Alison Wonderland has made tears flow during her historic set at Coachella with an incredible tribute to Avicii. Alison asked the crowd to shine their lights in the sky in tribute to the trailblazing Swedish electro legend, while cranking his 2011 hit ‘Levels’. Wonderland’s emotional live tribute comes after Dutch producer Armin van Buuren also paid homage to Avicii during his gig at Sydney’s A State Of Trance festival.

Norwegian producer Kygo told the crowd that Avicii was his “biggest music inspiration”, and a “true musical genius” , while headlining the mainstage at Coachella on Friday night.

“Earlier today I got the news that Avicii had passed away, only 28 years old,” Kygo told the crowd, visibly holding back tears. “Avicii was my biggest musical inspiration, and he was the reason I started making electronic music. I don’t think I would have been on this stage tonight if it wasn’t for him.

“I know he has inspired millions of other producers out there. I want to end my set tonight with my favourite Avicii song. In honour of Avicii, I want you guys to dance and sing along, and let’s celebrate the life of a true musical genius.”

He then closed out his set with Avicii’s 2017 track ‘Without You’. Watch the video below.
