What will the tribute be about?
The benefit concert will be tied to the Tim Berg Foundation, the mental health support charity which was set up by Avicii’s parents after his death.
All the proceeds from the festival will go to the foundation, and it is reported that the artists will be performing for free.
The musician’s father, Klas Bergling, said: “Tim had plans for his music to be performed together with a large live band, and now we are realizing his dream and giving fans a chance to experience his music in this unique way.
“We want this concert to help put the topic on the agenda and pay attention to the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide.”
