Swedish-based house music group Swedish House Mafia have announced their intention to disband after their next tour. A statement from the group said "the tour we are about to go on will be our last".

The group, which consists of DJs Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, formed in 2008, with its members initially DJing in a pizza shop in the Swedish capital in the early 2000s. In a statement on their website, the group expressed their appreciation to their supporters. "We want to thank every single one of you that came with us on this journey," the group statement reads. "We came, we raved, we loved."

Swedish House Mafia appeared at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend at the weekend. The group also announced future tour dates, including Ushuaia on the Spanish island of Ibiza from July 4 to August 29, the Friends Arena in Sweden on November 24 and the National Bowl in the British town of Milton Keynes on July 14, the latter of which the page says will be the group's final night in the United Kingdom. "The final leg of this journey will be announced in August," the statement reads.
