The following farewell tour would last nine months, and prove to be one of the most commercially successful endeavors in electronic music&#8217;s history. In the trio&#8217;s wake, all three members have remained significant figures in the dance music realm; <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/axwell\">Axwell<\/a> and <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/sebastian-ingrosso\">Sebastian Ingrosso<\/a> have continued their partnership, while <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/steve-angello\">Steve Angello<\/a> has seen further success in solo endeavors.<\/p><p>Axwell, who has <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/2015\/11\/axwell-speaks-possible-return-swedish-house-mafia-beats-1-interview\/\">previously noted<\/a> the possibility of a reunion between the group, sent SHM&#8217;s legions of fans into a frenzy after posting a tweet which could suggest a resurrection of the influential trio.In the now-deleted tweet, Axwell states\u00a0&#8220;The countdown to a new era has begun. Never too late to get back on track.&#8221;<\/p> <figure><img\nclass=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/uploads.dancingastronaut.com\/2016\/10\/axwell-tweet-shm.png\" alt=\"axwell-tweet-shm\" \/><\/figure><p>The cryptic message is accompanied by a revised version of the <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/axwell-ingrosso\">Axwell ? Ingrosso<\/a> logo, which adds a perceived &#8220;A&#8221; character to the two members&#8217; initials. Fans have speculated that the second\u00a0&#8220;A&#8221; symbol could suggest the formation of a supergroup with <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/alesso\">Alesso<\/a>, because of\u00a0his\u00a0history of working with the producers, and his recent appearance with the duo at this year&#8217;s Amsterdam Dance Event.<\/p><p>The post also\u00a0includes the date March 26, 2017, which marks Sunday of next year&#8217;s Ultra Music Festival &#8211; where Swedish House Mafia famously put on their final performance in 2013. Sources close to the group note that a reunion between the duo and Steve Angello is unlikely, and all evidence suggesting a revitalization of SHM with Alesso added to the roster is purely speculative. However, it&#8217;s safe to assume that something momentous is occurring within the ranks of Sweden&#8217;s most influential DJs. No matter the manifestation, March 26, 2017 is a date for SHM fans to mark in their calendars.<\/p><p><em>H\/T: <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.youredm.com\/2016\/10\/26\/deleted-axwell-tweet-adds-evidence-swedish-house-mafia-reunion-2017\/\">YourEDM<\/a><\/em><\/p><p><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/p><p\nclass=\"item-title\"><a\ntitle=\"Axwell speaks about a possible return for Swedish House Mafia in Beats 1 interview\" href=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/2015\/11\/axwell-speaks-possible-return-swedish-house-mafia-beats-1-interview\/\">Axwell speaks about a possible return for Swedish House Mafia in Beats 1 interview<\/a><\/p><p\nclass=\"item-title\"><a\ntitle=\"Axwell ?
