The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers are an American DJ-producer duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, who formed their partnership in New York City in 2012 after Pall had already been building a career as a DJ and Taggart joined as the production-focused partner with a background in music composition and performance. Their early output established a sound at the intersection of indie pop, progressive house, and the melodic electronic mainstream that was defining commercial dance music's crossover moment in the mid-2010s. Their breakthrough into mainstream awareness began with Roses featuring ROZES (2015), which reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and introduced their signature combination of emotional vulnerability with dance-optimized sonic architecture. The critical commercial breakthrough arrived in 2016 with Don't Let Me Down featuring Daya, which won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2017 and demonstrated that their approach to crafting productions that function both as late-night club tools and as emotionally resonant pop songwriting had earned recognition from the Recording Academy. Their commercial apex arrived with Closer featuring Halsey, which spent weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016 — the longest-running number one of that calendar year — while also reaching number one in Ireland and New Zealand and the top five in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Germany, establishing their commercial profile as genuinely global rather than limited to the US EDM festival market. Their debut studio album Memories...Do Not Open arrived in April 2017 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, a rare achievement for an electronic act that confirmed their commercial momentum had crossed from the singles market into the album-buying demographic. Something Just Like This, their 2017 collaboration with Coldplay, became one of that year's most-played tracks globally, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Subsequent albums Sick Boy... (2019) and So Far So Good (2022) continued developing the duo's catalog while maintaining active touring and residency commitments. What distinguishes The Chainsmokers live performance from conventional DJ sets is Andrew Taggart's practice of singing live during their shows — a hybrid format that combines DJ performance, production, and live vocal delivery in a way that elevates the energy and intimacy of their sets well beyond a standard DJ performance. The live vocal element means their Wynn Las Vegas shows function simultaneously as concert and club experience, appealing to fans who arrive specifically for the performance alongside the broader nightclub audience drawn by the music's commercial reputation. Their 2026 Wynn Nightlife residency is one of the most extensive on the Strip, spanning XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club across a full May through September season: XS Nightclub dates include May 2, May 16, May 23, June 6, and June 13; Encore Beach Club dates span June 20, July 11, August 1, August 15, August 29, September 5, September 12, September 19, and September 26.

The Chainsmokers won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording for Don't Let Me Down featuring Daya (2017), had Closer featuring Halsey reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 as the year's longest-running chart-topper in 2016, and debuted their album Memories...Do Not Open at number one on the Billboard 200 — one of the rare electronic acts to achieve that milestone.

The Chainsmokers currently performs at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, typically on Saturdays; XS (May–June), EBC (June–September) 2026. Their sets span Pop EDM / Dance, delivering a sound that has earned them one of the most dedicated followings in the Las Vegas residency circuit.

The Chainsmokers' 2026 Wynn Nightlife season is one of the most geographically and temporally distributed residencies in the Las Vegas market. Fourteen confirmed dates span XS Nightclub indoor shows in May and June, and Encore Beach Club outdoor pool party appearances from June through September. This is not a rotating-headliner residency with occasional bookings but a sustained seasonal commitment — guests planning Las Vegas trips between May and September 2026 have a Chainsmokers option at XS or EBC on most major weekend dates.

XS Nightclub at Encore hosts their spring dates: May 2, May 16 (EDC Week Saturday), May 23 (Memorial Day Weekend Saturday), June 6, and June 13. The XS environment concentrates the live-vocal performance element in the enclosed main room, where the acoustics amplify Taggart's singing over the production mix more effectively than the outdoor pool format. EDC Week Saturday on May 16 is the single most in-demand Chainsmokers date of the year — festival-week Saturday at XS draws the highest concentration of motivated nightlife attendees on the Las Vegas calendar. Sign up for the guest list as early as possible for that specific date.

Encore Beach Club takes over from June through September: June 20, July 11, August 1, August 15, August 29, September 5, September 12, September 19, and September 26. The outdoor pool format transforms the Chainsmokers performance into a Las Vegas summer afternoon event — swimwear, Las Vegas sun, and a live-vocal pop-house show that runs from early afternoon into the early evening. EBC's production infrastructure (full outdoor sound system, elevated DJ deck overlooking the saltwater pool, Las Vegas skyline view) provides the premium outdoor context for a performance that benefits from space and natural light. The September dates, when Las Vegas heat begins to ease from peak summer temperatures, are among the most pleasant outdoor nightlife experiences the Strip offers.

For groups planning around The Chainsmokers, the full May-September calendar means multiple viable dates to choose from based on trip dates and preferred format (nightclub vs. pool party). Bottle service at both XS and EBC provides guaranteed table access on their highest-demand dates, which is particularly relevant for groups of eight or more who want guaranteed seating and the best sight lines to the DJ deck. Guest list through NoCoverVegas provides free entry for qualifying guests on all fourteen 2026 dates.

The Chainsmokers's sound: Pop EDM and melodic dance built around emotionally direct songwriting and Andrew Taggart's live vocals — The Chainsmokers XS and EBC sets combine the chart-topping anthems of their Billboard Hot 100 run with a live-hybrid format that blurs the line between DJ performance and concert, delivering an experience calibrated for Las Vegas nightlife's premium production infrastructure. At XS Nightclub, the professional sound systems and production infrastructure amplify every element of their performance — from the sub-bass to the high-end clarity.

As a headliner, The Chainsmokers commands the prime time slot — typically starting between 12:30 AM and 1:30 AM at nightclubs, or between 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM at pool parties. Headliner sets run 90 minutes to two hours and feature the full production package including pyrotechnics, CO2 cannons, and synchronized lighting.
