Utterly insufferable DJ duo The Chainsmokers will perform at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Saturday, May 13.
The group, whose output unfortunately qualifies as music, will be on the road in support of their almost-certainly terrible debut album, which is slated for release sometime this year. Despite a lack of LPs, the duo—whose increasing popularity undermines all arguments that mankind is essentially good—has already reached the Billboard Hot 100’s top ten on four mind-boggling occasions.
The Chainsmokers, who list their penis sizes on their website because they are as classy as they are talented, will be supported by a number of acts when they come to New Orleans. Kiiara, Kyle and Emily Warren will be tasked with the miserable job of opening for the duo, who self-identify as “frat bros” and who first rose to prominence with a truly garbage song about taking selfies.
The Chainsmokers, who imposed the god-awful combination of uninspired noise and poorly remixed top 40 classics they call a concert on countless music festivals in 2016, last took the stage in New Orleans during the Voodoo Music Experience. As you may recall, it was there that they mercifully siphoned the more obnoxious elements of the crowd away from Arcade Fire’s set in what could arguably be described as their only positive contribution to music.
Tickets to see The Chainsmokers, who Esquire accurately deemed the “Nickelback of EDM,” in New Orleans will go on sale at 10am on Saturday, February 4.
