In an unexpected New Year’s Eve offering, Netflix drops a bittersweet gem for electronic music fans. Alongside a documentary chronicling the life of Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii, viewers can now witness the Swedish DJ’s last performance at Ushuaïa, Ibiza’s legendary party hotspot.
On August 28, 2016, Avicii took the decks at Ushuaïa for what would unknowingly become his final show. The 30-minute set captures the essence of Ibiza’s pulsating nightlife – a sea of fans singing and dancing to Avicii’s chart-topping hits. It’s a snapshot of an artist at the pinnacle of his career, merely two years before his untimely death in 2018.
The concert footage offers more than just music. Interspersed throughout are interviews with Avicii’s collaborators, including Coldplay’s Chris Martin, providing insight into the artist’s creative process and impact on the electronic dance music scene.
This release serves as both a celebration of Avicii’s talent and a poignant reminder of his legacy. As the beats of “Wake Me Up” and “Levels” echo through the Ibizan night, viewers are transported to a moment frozen in time – a final farewell from an artist who shaped the sound of a generation.
As we step into 2025, this unexpected time capsule from Netflix offers fans a chance to relive the magic of Avicii’s music and the electric atmosphere of his performances. It’s a fitting tribute to an artist whose influence continues to resonate in the world of electronic music.
