In a deeply moving performance at Tomorrowland, Oliver Heldens honored the late Avicii by playing the iconic track Levels during his opening set on the Mainstage. The Dutch DJ was visibly emotional as the melody filled the air, a moment later shared on his Instagram.
Heldens expressed his admiration and gratitude for Avicii, remembering how the Swedish DJ had given him a significant career boost by inviting him to play as a support act in 2014. Heldens reflected, “It’s been more than six years since we lost Tim, but I know he’ll live on in so many of our hearts. Rest in Peace, Tim.”
Avicii’s death in 2018 had a profound impact on the music world, highlighting the importance of mental health. His family established the Tim Bergling Foundation in his memory, supporting mental health initiatives.
