''Addicted to You" and the posthumous "SOS" topped the dance music charts.
The concert will feature many of the singers, including Adam Lambert and Rita Ora, who were on Avicii's recordings and will be the first time many of them have been performed live.
David Guetta and Kygo are among the electronic dance music stars that will perform opening sets.
Organizers said tickets go on sale Thursday.
