Swedish House Mafia to perform at Will Ferrell’s house partySwedish House Mafia have found the time to squeeze a party in alongside their XS Las Vegas residency. But not just any party – the electronic trio will be attending comedian Will Ferrell’s Ultimate DJ House Party.
That’s right, the whacky Anchorman star will be hosting his very own house party on 26 October. And it’s for a vital cause; all proceeds from the Chicago affair will go towards Ferrell’s charity, Cancer for College.

Founded 30 years ago, Cancer for College was formed by Ferrell alongside his college friend and three time cancer survivor, Craig Pollard. The charity supports cancer survivors by providing college scholarships and relieving medical debt. According to their website, Cancer for College has funded more than 1,700 scholarships to date, totaling $7 million.
In a suitably hilarious announcement video, Ferrell revealed the news that Swedish House Mafia will be performing at his Ultimate DJ House Party. ‘Mixing’ a track in a cool pair of shades, Ferrell says that “[his] band, Swedish House Mafia” will be performing – and warns that people should “be there… don’t piss these guys off.”

So, Ferrell has ‘joined’ Swedish House Mafia. And the gang have fully played into the joke too: Their Instagram profile picture is currently Ferrell’s face, confirming his role as the ‘fourth member’ of the group.
The Ultimate DJ House Party will be held at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena. So far, tickets have raised over $75,000 for Cancer for College.
We’re sure that Ferrell’s party will be a LOT more exciting than a boring Catalina Wine Mixer. So grab yourself a ticket – VIP passes are also available.
