There are some songs that become bigger than music. They become memories. They become timelines. They become entire phases of life. For millennials and Gen Z across India, The Chainsmokers were exactly that. Whether it was screaming the lyrics to ‘Closer’ during college fests, hearing ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ at every party, putting ‘Paris’ on during late-night drives or watching ‘Something Just Like This’ become a festival anthem across the world, The Chainsmokers didn’t just dominate charts; they defined a cultural moment for an entire generation growing up online, hyper-connected and emotionally attached to music in a completely new way.
Commenting on the announcement, Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, said, "There are very few artists whose music instantly transports people back to a specific phase of their lives and The Chainsmokers are absolutely one of them. For Indian millennials and Gen Z, their songs became part of core youth culture moments over the last decade. We understand the emotional excitement fans have around witnessing them live again, especially at a time when nostalgia and shared cultural experiences are driving fan communities globally. Our vision is to create large-scale cultural moments where music, fandom, production and community come together in a way that reflects the scale of what young India wants from live entertainment today."
