HARDWELL ANNOUNCES WORLD TOUR AND NEW ALBUM: WATCH HIS FULL ULTRA 2022 COMEBACK SET
And just like that, Hardwell is back.
Fresh off a historic comeback set at the 2022 edition of Ultra Music Festival, the Dutch dance music icon has doubled down by announcing a world tour in support of a brand new album, Rebels Never Die. According to a press release shared with EDM.com, the tour is a "large-scale production concept that will give fans a unique multi-dimensional experience" to witness Hardwell's return to the stage after a four-year hiatus.
Hardwell performs at the 2022 edition of Ultra Music Festival in Miami on March 27th, 2022.
Alive Coverage
The fabled "Spaceman" producer had performed at Ultra every year from 2012 to 2018, when he stunned the electronic dance music community by stepping away at the age of 30. He now seems to be back with a renewed creative spirit after his momentous performance, where he unveiled a revamped, electrifying sound rooted in techno and future rave music.
Hardwell dropped the curtain on a staggering 15 IDs during the set, giving fans a generous taste of honey before offering up the Rebels Never Die hive. He has not yet announced a release date for the full-length album, his first since 2015's debut United We Are, but revealed that it will feature 14 songs and will release under his storied record label, Revealed Recordings. Fans can pre-save the record here.
Approximately 150,000 people flocked to Ultra's Main Stage to experience Hardwell's set, which also reportedly broke the record for the festival's livestreaming viewership. Check out the full performance below.

TIËSTO REVEALS HE HAS TWO UNRELEASED COLLABORATIONS WITH AVICII
It turns out there are even more hidden gems in Avicii's archives, two of which we've learned are collaborations with Tiësto.
In a new interview with Level One, Tiësto says he and Avicii were initially excited about one particular track they had in the pipeline, but it was still unfinished. However, upon the Swedish superstar's tragic death, Tiësto, like so many of Avicii's collaborators, ultimately found himself uncertain as to what Avicii would have wanted to do with the track.
"We made a track together years ago and we wanted to release it. Actually, I have two tracks with him," Tiësto recalls. "We never really finished both of them. After he passed away. I didn’t know if he would have wanted them to be released; so I decided not to."
"I’m not sure if they’ll ever see the light of day," he added.
Tiësto was one of Avicii's foremost champions throughout his career. The Dutch dance music legend was introduced to Avicii's music when the latter's manager began sending him songs. As Tiësto recalled in a 2020 tribute livestream with "Wake Me Up" singer Aloe Blacc, the year was 2008, well before Avicii had even played his first live set.

While Tiësto isn't pressing for the release of these tracks, he isn't short on content in his own pipeline. He is preparing for his next album cycle, a project he says fans could hear as early as this summer.
"The London Sessions was a really great album," Tiësto said. "I spent a month in London, met up with all the best songwriters and we has a lot of session. I feel like that’s how albums are gonna be from now on: they’ll be a vibe and not necessarily just like 10 songs put together. It’ll be more like: ‘Yeah, this is where I’m at, my headspace,' and really try to close it out within three months from start to finish."
"I think the new album should be finished by February and then come out in the summer," he added.
