Huge haul of Avicii’s music gear and personal belongings to be auctioned for charityA massive auction consisting of 267 items belonging to the late Avicii is set to take place this October.
The Avicii Collection auction is being run by Stockholms Auktionsverk, and will take place both online and in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday 1 October at 9am ET. All proceeds will be donated to The Tim Bergling Foundation, a mental health charity set up by Avicii’s family under his real name.

Bergling tragically took his own life in 2018. His song Wake Me Up has earned over two billion streams and is the highest-ever certified dance song by the RIAA. All items in the auction have been donated by Bergling’s family, with belongings such as sneakers, clothing, and instruments to go under the hammer, which have been stored in Stockholm for the last six years.

This auction will not take any reserve or buyer’s commission, so all proceeds can go to the foundation. The auction will be published in full on 6 September, when you’ll be able to view all the items included online, and in The Avicii Collection – A charity auction catalogue. This will be available both digitally and as a limited edition printed version, which you can pre-order now (28€).
“Tim Bergling left behind some incredible things,” states the auction website. “Given Tim’s lack of attachment to material things, his family decided that a charity auction is the most natural solution, with the proceeds directed towards The Tim Bergling Foundation.
“This auction will support the Foundation’s work for young people’s mental health and other causes close to Tim’s heart, such as endangered animals, nature, and climate. This way, Tim’s belongings can contribute to the positive change he always sought to inspire.”
