Somebody said ‘2026 is the new 2016’ and it couldn’t be truer. From perfecting the dog filters to dancing the night away in clubs to the addictive tunes of Closer, the golden days of 2016 seem just like yesterday. But, never say never, the nostalgia is not ready to die so quickly, especially when the year-end 2026 has big bold plans ahead. Get ready to party like it’s 2016 as The Chainsmokers return to India after almost a decade. As part of their three-city India tour to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru this year, the DJ duo is bringing their unforgettable bops to the capital city on December 19, 2026. Here’s all you need to know about the concert, tickets, and more, to get a head start on planning.
The Chainsmokers 2026 India Tour – Delhi NCR
Who would have thought that EDM tracks would continue to remain a classic in our playlist a decade later? Well, we have many pioneers to thank for that, especially The Chainsmokers. The Grammy-winning duo of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall has pioneered an alternative mix of indie vocals with pop-EDM. Whether it is a millennial living their heyday or Gen Z recalling the nostalgia of better days, no Y2K playlist is complete without them. They are set to headline the much-awaited Indian Sneaker Festival in Gurugram this December, marking a cultural merge of fandom, music, art, and fashion.
After all, who could forget the sensational 2016 single, Closer ft Halsey, blaring across pubs and clubs. Additionally, it spent 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and over 5.8 billion plays across platforms. Who can forget the Coldplay classic, Something Just Like This or the party break-up hit, Don’t Let Me Down?
Moreover, the Indian Sneaker Festival will follow its dedicated two-day weekend format. It is considered the country’s largest celebration of streetculture, from art and music, to fashion and gaming. The 2026 edition will feature a massive lineup with over 30+ international and homegrown artists and 80+ streetwear brands. In the past, the event has featured Ritvitz, Hanumankind, and 21Savage, so you can only expect this year to be bigger and better. While the official lineup is rolling out in phases, the main highlight remains, The Chainsmokers.
