NBC Re-Confirms Swedish House Mafia Performance For July 19 “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (Update)

The episode will also feature Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Joshua Jackson.

Update 3: NBC has again updated its July 19 “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” lineup, this time re-confirming Swedish House Mafia as musical guests. Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake, who were initially announced as featured acts, are not part of the new listing.

The episode, as previously noted, will also feature interviews with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Joshua Jackson.

Update 2: Monday night, the official “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” website noted that Swedish House Mafia, Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake would be performing on the July 19 episode. A subsequent press alert from NBC announced the same thing.

Tuesday, NBC removed the artists from both listings.

As of press time, it is unclear whether their removal was due to concern over a premature announcement (technically, Swedish House Mafia has not yet confirmed details of its new single) or because lineup plans have actually changed. Headline Planet will provide an update as more news arrives.

Update: Headline Planet just received an additional NBC press note confirming Swedish House Mafia, Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake as the musical guests for the July 19 “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

A newly launched poster campaign suggests iconic EDM act Swedish House Mafia will be releasing a comeback single this week. Early next week, the world will evidently get to see a television performance of the song.

According to the program’s official website, Swedish House Mafia will perform on the July 19 edition of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Per the listing, the trio will perform with Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake.

The performance will follow host Jimmy Fallon’s interviews with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Joshua Jackson.

Although the official website is obviously a credible destination for “Tonight Show” listings, advertised lineups remain subject to change. Headline Planet will provide an update if the performance is changed or canceled.
