Netflix to Release Avicii Documentary and Final Ibiza Performance
Netflix is set to honor the legacy of the late Swedish DJ and producer Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii, with the highly anticipated release of Avicii: I’m Tim. The documentary, which first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, offers a deeply personal look into the life of the music icon, chronicling his meteoric rise to fame, his struggles with mental health, and his lasting impact on the electronic music world.
Through a combination of never-before-seen footage, personal interviews, and a unique narration by Avicii himself, Avicii: I’m Tim takes viewers behind the scenes of his whirlwind career. From his breakout hit Bromance to his worldwide success, the documentary sheds light on his journey from the studio to the stage, showing both the highs of his success and the darker moments of his personal life. Fans will also be given a rare insight into his close relationships with family and friends, offering a deeper understanding of the man behind the music.
Set to be released globally on December 31, 2024, Avicii: I’m Tim will allow fans to reflect on the incredible life of one of the most influential figures in modern music. In addition to the documentary, Netflix will also share Avicii’s final performance from Ushuaïa in Ibiza, recorded on August 28, 2016. This performance was one of his last before he stepped away from touring to focus on his mental health, a decision that would later become a pivotal moment for both him and the music industry.
The Ibiza show is iconic not only for its unforgettable energy but also for its emotional significance. Avicii’s decision to retire from the spotlight just months after this performance brought attention to the pressures of fame and the importance of mental health in the music world. His actions would inspire many artists to reevaluate their well-being, sparking important conversations within the industry.
