An Avicii wax figure was unveiled at the Las Vegas location of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on Thursday (May 14).
The figure finds the producer in a way he’s best remembered by many: behind the decks wearing a flannel button-down shirt and backward baseball cap, right hand raised and a big smile on his face.
An Avicii wax figure also debuted at the New York location of Madame Tussauds in 2019. In Las Vegas, the figure wears a different flannel button-down than in New York, swapping black-and-white for blue, red and black. (A representative for Madame Tussauds did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment on whether the New York figure is the same one that’s now in Las Vegas.)

The Avicii figure is being unveiled in Las Vegas just ahead of EDC Las Vegas, which will draw upward of 200,000 dance music fans to the city for the three-day festival and the many adjacent parties happening on the Las Vegas Strip.
“Avicii truly embodies everything that the Las Vegas nightlife scene is known for,” Madame Tussauds Las Vegas GM Gabriel Hewitt says in a press release. “His new figure is a perfect fit for our location, and we can’t wait for guests to come see it.” This press release continues by saying that “The electric dance music icon’s figure will give guests the opportunity to relive Avicii’s stand out performances and pay tribute to his life.”
The New York figure was originally made in a collaboration between Madame Tussauds and the parents of the late artist. This past April 20 marked the eight-year anniversary of the producer’s death by suicide.
