This footage is from a Swedish House Mafia concert as part of their 'One Last Tour' in Paris:
Here's another angle of the same moment:
Say what you will about the Swedish House Mafia, but it's clear to see that these fans are having a great time. It's pretty special to see tens of thousands of fans collectively get swept up in the same moment together.
We are only a few hours away from the kick off of the ticket sales to the Canadian tour dates of Swedish House Mafia's 'One Last Tour'. But before you pick what kind of seating you should get for the show I think you should see this video:
This is Swedish House Mafia at the iheart radio festival on September 21st, 2012 in Las Vegas. The person shooting this video is easily 100-150 ft back from the stage yet has an almost perfect view of the concert.
Before you buy your tickets you should consider that the 'One Last Tour' stage set up is designed for huge arenas, meaning there will most likely not be a bad seat at the Bell Centre or Rogers Centre. If you get too close to the stage you might get a pixelated view of the light show while not being able to see the Swedish House Mafia because they are hoisted up on an elevated platform.
If I were buying tickets for this event I'd probably try for the middle rows of the 1st level which will probably give me the perfect viewing angle without having to pay premium for floor access. But that's just me.
Update: Early ticket sales are in: the Amsterdam show sold out but a 2nd show was almost immediately added. Could they be planning the same thing in Toronto and Montreal as well? There is a lot of days in between Feb 23rd and Feb 27th for a possible 2nd show in each city.
Event Information is below:
Evenko, one of the largest promoters in Montreal and organizer of the Osheaga festival tweeted this today:
DotSpot sighting! Be on the lookout for others. #onelasttour instagr.am/p/Pw6lDgENs1/

Let's this speculation be classified under as a 'strong rumour' for now but everyone should interpret this Tweet as a strong indication that SHM will be stopping in Montreal. With the NHL lockout in effect my guess is that Evenko will hold this event at the Bell Centre. Needless to say this will be a very hot ticket and hopefully more Canadian tour dates will be added.
*Update*
Dancing Astronaut included Montreal as one of SHM's ten spots that they will be visiting as part of their 'One Last Tour' with this pic:
That's a picture of the New City Gas nightclub in Montreal with 3 loonie dots over it. I still hold out hope that SHM will be hosted at the Bell Centre because they are that huge, the tickets will sell out, and why not? If they do it at the New City Gas I feel that the tickets will not last more than a few minutes. Which is not a bad thing buuut what if Montreal is the only Canadian stop? Toronto and Ottawa SHM fans will absolutely be eyeing these tickets for a One Last Tour road trip.

The EDM Snob released an article today claiming that he holds detailed information about the Swedish House Mafia's final tour which is rumoured to have stops in L.A, India, South Africa, and Russia thus far. But the EDM Snob claims to have even more information on the tour and decided to write to SHM's management with the threat of releasing what he knows before the official announcement unless he is given exclusive information. Here's an example:
"2) I am willing to postpone this leak if you agree to provide me (exclusively) with the complete information so that I can leak it at least one full day ahead of the official announcement."
Who would agree to such terms? Not SHM. Here's an excerpt of their response:
"No.... we wont give you the exclusive on our tour routing....Go threaten someone else...Idiot. SHM HQ"
You can find the full letter to SHM and their response via EDM Snob's article.
