DJs Sebastian Ingrosso And Alesso Crash Elite Holiday Party Alongside Other High-Profile Faces

New York City is no stranger to over-the-top holiday parties, but Veritas Capital managed to raise the bar thanks to Swedish House Mafia and other high-profile faces. In a season packed with predictable cocktail mixers and polite champagne toasts, the private equity firm quietly delivered what insiders are already calling one of the most unforgettable holiday events of the year. Hosted by CEO Ramzi Musallam at the ultra-exclusive Casa Cipriani in Manhattan, the evening began as an elegant, black-tie-worthy affair before quickly evolving into a full-scale spectacle. What guests expected to be a refined holiday gathering soon transformed into something far bigger, blending luxury, surprise, and high-energy entertainment in a way few corporate events ever attempt.

Following the initial reception, attendees were ushered into a second space that had been transformed into a packed nightclub, where the energy shifted into high gear. The Blast was told that Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso joined forces with EDM heavyweight Alesso, taking over the decks and keeping the crowd dancing well into the night. The unexpected DJ pairing sent the room into a frenzy, turning the evening into a late-night celebration that rivaled some of the city’s most exclusive clubs.

The guest list reflected the magnitude of the event. According to sources, Owning Manhattan star Ryan Serhant was spotted mingling among the crowd, while former New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard added a dose of sports star power to the already electric mix of attendees.

Coming off a massive year that included raising a $15 billion fund, Veritas Capital clearly had plenty to celebrate, and did so in a way few firms in the private equity world would dare. Known for investing in high-tech companies across critical sectors like national security, healthcare, and education, the firm leaned into a bold, confident celebration that matched its momentum.

Rather than hosting a traditional corporate holiday party, Veritas Capital delivered a night that felt more like an industry flex, equal parts celebration, spectacle, and statement. The seamless transition from elegant reception to full-throttle nightlife underscored the firm’s willingness to break from convention and do something truly memorable.

If the goal was to end the year on a high note, mission accomplished, and then some. In a city that prides itself on excess and exclusivity, Veritas Capital’s holiday bash managed to stand out as one of the most talked-about nights of the season.

For the guests in attendance, it wasn’t just a holiday party. It was a moment. And in New York City, that’s saying something.

Swedish House Mafia is officially ringing in 2026 with a major stateside moment. The iconic electronic trio, Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso, has announced a headline New Year’s performance at Pier 80 in San Francisco, California, marking the group’s only confirmed U.S. show ahead of the new year.

Set against the San Francisco Bay, Pier 80 offers an expansive warehouse-style venue spanning more than 200,000 square feet. The space is best known for hosting Goldenvoice’s Portola Music Festival, with Goldenvoice also producing Swedish House Mafia’s upcoming New Year’s event.

Formed in 2008, Swedish House Mafia quickly cemented their place as one of electronic music’s most influential acts. The trio made history in 2011 as the first electronic group to headline and sell out Madison Square Garden, moving 14,497 tickets and grossing $963,614, according to Pollstar box office reports. The following year, they became the first electronic act to close Coachella’s mainstage, later returning to headline one weekend of the festival in 2022.

From an ultra-exclusive holiday celebration in Manhattan to Swedish House Mafia’s headline-making New Year’s plans, the night showed how music, influence, and spectacle continue to intersect at the highest levels.

And, for the guests in attendance, it was a memorable, unexpected moment that elevated the evening beyond a typical celebration.
