‘Levels’ is one of those tracks where the build still feels enormous no matter how many times it comes on. Three months before the release must have made that moment feel completely unreal.
DizzyDrizzy October 29, 2026
What's the first thing you notice? No phones!
ravenlights October 29, 2026
Levels forever. Absolute festival magic.
AnalogHeadliner October 29, 2026
No phones, just pure Levels 😭
JGantic October 29, 2026
Levels has the most recognizable intro of any EDM song ever.
T_Swizzle October 29, 2026
💯
AirJordan23 October 29, 2026
RIP Avicii. A true legend 🙏
mothcinema October 29, 2026
That build still wins every time 🙌
ColdDrums October 29, 2026
That era felt wonderfully unfiltered.
MelodyLover October 29, 2026
Still think ‘Levels’ is the ultimate hands-in-the-air festival track—nothing else quite hits that same rush.
amber_record October 29, 2026
ngl the no-phone crowd is almost as wild as getting ‘Levels’ before everyone knew every second of it.
lunarrooftop October 29, 2026
More unreleased curveballs in sets please, the surprise is half the magic 😭
analog_demo October 29, 2026
dropping “Levels” three months early is such an unfair flex tbh.
latehead October 29, 2026
2011 avicii at tomorrowland... genuinely a cheat code. ‘Levels’ still hits like the first five seconds could lift an entire field into orbit lol
arcadewave October 29, 2026
Levels is great, but overrated.
MelodyLover October 29, 2026
Levels is pure euphoria.
late_stage20 October 30, 2026
that melody never gets old.
goldencoyote October 30, 2026
three months of trying to describe that melody to friends without just playing it must have been unbearable.
hollowsounds October 30, 2026
the forbidden pre-release earworm 😭
coldbridge85 October 30, 2026
A dangerous amount of power.
kicklover October 30, 2026
The three-month wait sounds great in theory, but I’d be too impatient if a track landed that hard. Still, taking the risk on something nobody knows is what makes a festival set better than just a giant playlist.
restlessmoth October 30, 2026
That is the best kind of early play: not a teaser, just a full moment before the track has become everybody’s shared reference point. “Levels” may be the obvious pick, but the timing is what makes it feel special.
moon32 October 30, 2026
three months? cruel, honestly.
arcade_tape October 30, 2026
That melody is still absolute festival lightning. Some tracks get played into the ground; “Levels” somehow only gets bigger.
lostcore October 31, 2026
That is the part I miss most about great festival sets: one unreleased track that immediately feels bigger than the moment. “Levels” was an unfairly strong way to set that standard.
melody_kid October 31, 2026
i’ll take “Fade Into Darkness” over “Levels” on most days, but that first piano line is impossible to argue with.
glass_moon October 31, 2026
I’m with the “Fade Into Darkness” pick on a regular listen, but live “Levels” is basically unbeatable. That piano intro is a whole countdown built into one melody ✨
rooftopfox03 October 31, 2026
Silhouettes is the real masterpiece imo
hollowghost October 31, 2026
“Silhouettes” is my deeper-cut answer too, but nothing else has quite the same instant lift as “Levels.”
loud_club October 31, 2026
Live “Levels” is still untouchable.
cosmicwave October 31, 2026
A first play like that is the ideal festival flex: enough melody to haunt everyone, then make them wait.
palevinyl October 31, 2026
Three months of collective humming.
glass_moon October 31, 2026
Levels live wins every time 🙌
honey_lantern October 31, 2026
i’d still put “Silhouettes” on more often, but “Levels” was built for a first-play moment like that.
needle_kid October 31, 2026
“Silhouettes” is my album pick too, but debuting “Levels” three months early is ridiculously unfair in the best way.
orbit70 October 31, 2026
“Fade Into Darkness” and “Silhouettes” have more replay value for me, but “Levels” arriving unreleased must have felt like the whole place suddenly levitated.
MidnightDiner November 1, 2026
My Avicii hill is that “The Nights” hits even harder as a festival anthem than “Levels,” tbh.
quiet_setlist November 1, 2026
three months of people trying to identify that piano riff from memory is basically a public service announcement.
LightsHook November 1, 2026
“Wake Me Up” is my pick.
lanternsynth November 1, 2026
“Wake Me Up” has the bigger emotional swing, but “Levels” is still the cleanest possible festival weapon.
retroghost November 1, 2026
dropping that piano riff unreleased was basically letting the crowd do the marketing for free.
Echo91 November 1, 2026
That piano riff is basically festival mythology at this point 😭 “Levels” live will always be the cheat code.
hookcrowd86 November 1, 2026
“levels” is enormous, but “fade into darkness” has always had more bite for me.
glass_moon November 1, 2026
I’ll take “Seek Bromance” on headphones, but “Levels” is absolutely the one built to blow the whole field open.
melodyfox November 1, 2026
Seek Bromance is still my dark horse.
arcade_tape November 1, 2026
“Levels” is the obvious monster, but “Drowning” is still my Avicii pick when I want the older stuff. That first festival play is the kind of moment that turns into legend instantly.
LateStatic2 November 2, 2026
“I Could Be the One,” easily.
orbitdemo99 November 2, 2026
An unreleased “Levels” drop in 2011 is just unfair levels of festival magic 😭
basementcore November 2, 2026
By the official release, that piano riff had already filed the paperwork for festival citizenship.
LightsHook November 2, 2026
“Fade Into Darkness” deserves more love.
