The New York based pop duo The Chainsmokers is undeniably one of the biggest musical sensations of the decade. Founded in 2012, the band has won a Grammy Award, climbed to the top of the charts in dozens of countries and conquered the main stages of some of the biggest festivals around the world. The songs, written by Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, have been listened to billions of times and have been the soundtrack to many a memorable night. We can only guess at the amount of love stories that have started and ended while The Chainsmokers have been playing in the background.
The pair create music that blurs the lines between indie, stadium pop and EDM, and at the centre of it all are exquisite, languid melodies and super stylish production. Right from the outset The Chainsmokers have toured festivals and concert venues tirelessly and have quickly become one of the most closely watched musical phenomena worldwide. Despite their incredible success, they have managed to retain their ability to create unforgettable tunes. This is once again evidenced by the recently released singles Who Do You Love, Kills You Slowly and Do You Mean, from their upcoming third album, which is due later this year.
When The Chainsmokers take charge of the main stage at Ilosaarirock this July, it is guaranteed to be a blast – brace yourself for an evening of epic choruses and mass euphoria!
