Swedish House Mafia, a house music supergroup consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, scored global hit such as “Don’t You Worry Child”, “Save The World” and “One (Your Name)”. Former in 2008, they disbanded in 2012 for solo projects, but reunited at the 20th anniversary of Ultra Music Festival in Miami last year. They will be performing at the Padang Stage on 20 September.

Also performing on 20 September will be reggae pioneers Toots and the Maytals. Formed in the 1960s, the group behind the iconic reggae song “Pressure Drop” will be performing at the Wharf Stage on 20 September, as well as at the Esplanade Stage on 21 September.

Grammy Award-winning rap artiste Cardi B will join British rock trio Muse as the co-headlining acts on the Padang Stage on 21 September. The hugely popular rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, has already scored three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts – “Bodak Yellow”, “I Like It” and “Girls Like You”, her collaboration with Maroon 5.
