Alesso Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?

How Alesso Tour Openers Get Announced

Most Alessotour openers aren't named when tickets go on sale. The supporting act is locked in per-region (sometimes per-show) and surfaces on the official Ticketmaster show page in the weeks before each stop. Click any date above to see whether the opener is confirmed yet — Catch Movement pulls live show pages daily, so the listed support act updates as soon as Ticketmaster does.

For headliners at Alesso's scale, expect a single opener doing a 30 to 45 minute set, sometimes with a regional rotation (a Canadian opener for CA dates, a US opener for the American leg). The opener slot doesn't require a separate ticket — your Alesso ticket covers the full show.

How to Find the Confirmed Alesso Opener for Your City

1. Pick your city from the tour-date list above.
2. Click through to that show's Ticketmaster page.
3. Check the listing — confirmed openers appear under the headline name once added.
4. Watch for updates — openers are sometimes added 2 to 4 weeks out, so check back if it's still TBA.

Do I Need a Separate Ticket for the Opener?

No. The Alesso ticket you buy from Ticketmaster covers the entire show — opener + headliner — at the same venue, same night. Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the advertised start time; the opener typically performs first, with a 20 to 30 minute changeover before Alesso takes the stage.

Alesso Opening Act — FAQ

About Alesso

Alessandro Lindblad was born July 7, 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of an Italian father and a Swedish mother, and grew up across a household that ran on classical piano lessons and the melody-first version of European house music that Stockholm was exporting in the late 2000s. He started producing in his teens on FL Studio, posted instrumentals to early dance-music forums under the Alesso handle, and got his first significant break when Sebastian Ingrosso — one of the three members of Swedish House Mafia alongside Axwell and Steve Angello — heard a demo and signed him to Refune Music, the label Ingrosso ran outside the SHM project. Refune became the home base for the early Alesso catalogue, and the mentorship with Ingrosso shaped the production approach: emphasis on top-line melody, long arrangement arcs that breathe before the drop, drum work that owes more to the Stockholm school than the Beatport big-room template. The first major Alesso original was Nillionaire in 2010, followed by the Ingrosso co-production Calling in 2011, which became a Swedish House Mafia adjacent staple and later landed in the SHM tour film Leave the World Behind. Years, with Matthew Koma on vocals, arrived in 2012 and started the first wave of Alesso radio play in the US and UK. The Calvin Harris collaboration Under Control with Hurts followed in 2013. By the time Heroes (We Could Be) with Tove Lo dropped in 2014, Alesso was no longer the new producer attached to the Swedish House Mafia camp; he was a touring act in his own right. The Forever album, released in May 2015 on Refune Music and Def Jam internationally, debuted in the top five of the US dance chart and inside the top forty of the Billboard 200, sold strongly across Sweden, the UK, Germany and Australia, and consolidated the singles run with three new vocal cuts: Sweet Escape, Cool and Tear the Roof Up. Falling, a 2017 standalone single that leaned into the tropical-house textures dominating dance radio at the time, became one of the most-streamed Alesso records. PROGRESSO Vol. 1 arrived in 2018 as a deliberate course correction, a four-track EP that pulled back toward the longer-form, progressive-house structures of the early Refune catalogue. PROGRESSO Vol. 2 followed in 2019 with tougher, more peak-time pacing, and the Direction Vol. 1 series of releases on Refune kept the harder material flowing into the early 2020s. Alongside the original catalogue, Alesso has built one of the busiest collaboration discographies in dance music: with Marshmello on Chasing Stars, with Sebastian Ingrosso and Anitta on Is That For Me, with Hailee Steinfeld on Let Me Go, with John Newman on Words, with Liam Payne on Midnight, and the 2021 Chainsmokers and Stray Kids collaboration Going Dumb that brought him into the K-pop crossover lane. The Vegas residency lineage is a structural part of the live calendar. Alesso held a long-running residency at Omnia at Caesars Palace as part of the Hakkasan Group nightlife portfolio through the mid-to-late 2010s, with regular dates at Hakkasan inside MGM Grand and at Wet Republic, the Hakkasan dayclub. Subsequent cycles have shifted Vegas anchoring across operators, with appearances at the Tao Group rooms — Marquee at the Cosmopolitan, Tao Beach — and at Zouk at Resorts World once that property opened. The Vegas calendar moves on a year-to-year basis; check the dates above for current bookings. Festival headlining is the other structural piece of the live calendar. Alesso has played main stage at Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium across multiple weekend lineups, headlined Ultra Music Festival in Miami on both the live and main stages, played the main stage at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, headlined Creamfields North in the UK, played EXIT Festival in Serbia, Parookaville in Germany, Lollapalooza Stockholm and Lollapalooza Brazil, and routed through Asia for Ultra Korea, Ultra Japan and the Indonesian and Philippine festival calendars.
