(Philadelphia/Atlantic City) April 16, 2018 – EDM/pop duo The Chainsmokers – who were just crowned the No. 1 DJs of the year on the Billboard Dance 100 – have been added to the 2018 Atlantic City BeachFest Concert Series, taking place on Sunday, July 29 on the Atlantic City Beach with special guest BAZZI. This will be the only area appearance for the duo, who have been busy in 2018 with a European tour, Vegas residency, a headlining performance at the 2018 Ultra Music Festival and a series of newly released music that’s climbing the Dance and Pop music charts.
The Grammy winning group, comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, are set to bring their non-stop, high-energy, explosive performance to the beach. Fans can expect to hear all their favorite songs, like the chart-topping hits “Closer,” “Paris,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Something Just Like This,” “Roses” & more! “We are so excited for our show in Atlantic City on July 29th. We can’t think of a better place to be during the summer,” said The Chainsmokers. “As New Yorkers we always used to come down to AC this time of year and the vibes and weather was just perfect. Back then, we were playing in front of a few hundred people if that so to be returning now and have the chance to do our show properly in front of tens of thousands of people is pretty surreal. We are going to be bringing a show AC has never seen before and look forward to sharing this really special moment with families, fans and people just coming to have a great weekend away!”
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 20 at noon. Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster Outlets or by-phone at 800-745-3000.
