The Chainsmokers have transitioned to independent artists and are launching a new chapter in their career, marked by a return to XS Nightclub for a decade-long residency and upcoming performances at major events including Splash House 2026 and India tours with Guns N’ Roses and Foo Fighters. A recent concert in San Jose led to 14 attendees being hospitalized due to a staging malfunction, prompting a rushed exit from the stage. Meanwhile, their hit single 'Closer' celebrates its 10th anniversary, and a remix of Taylor Swift's 'The Fate of Ophelia' by the duo has been released as a visualizer.
