In March 2013, Swedish House Mafia left the world behind as they went their separate ways, following their "One Last Tour," and final performance at Ultra Music Festival. Fans have since hoped and wished for a reunion over the last five years, and now it looks like it could be a possibility!
Today, Friday, March 2nd, 2018, SHM's social media has been reactivated, with the banner of their Facebook page even being updated with their signature three circle logo, as well as the actual profile picture of members Steve Angello, Axwell, and Sebastian Ingrosso.

So ... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!
Well, interestingly enough ... it's March, and in a few weeks Ultra Music Festival (the scene of their last performance) will take place in Miami with the three-day festival celebrating it's 20th anniversary. So, many fans are speculating that the guys are reuniting at the famous dance music celebration.
Axwell /\ Ingrosso, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso's duo project, is already on the lineup. And on the lineup flyer, on the UMF website, it advertises "Special Anniversary Performances" and "Expected The Unexpected."
Exhibit A:
In fact, after Ultra revealed its Phase 1 lineup back in December, their official Twitter account tweeted, "This year will feature special EXCLUSIVE 20th ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCES yet to be announced, and many incredible artists!" Key words: "Yet to be announced."

In case you're lost in time right now, it's currently March. THREE MONTHS LATER.
Around this same time, Steve Angello starting following his once SHM brothers on social media.
Exhibit C:
Finally, Swedish House Mafia *just happen* to make it into UMF's Twitter Trivia questions while giving away merch to fans in early February. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean anything, as the group has had some of their most memorable performances at the festival, but it's still very interesting -- especially since it was their *final question* and the question had to do with their *final performance*.
Exhibit D:
FINAL QUESTION: What is the last song that Swedish House Mafia played at their final performance at Ultra Music Festival 2013?
