THE CHAINSMOKERS are the promised replacement by the Dreambeach organisation after the cancellation of French artist DJ SNAKE.

In the last five years they have accumulated numerous hits and number one, from their first great success éxito # Selfie ’to‘ Closer ’or‘ Something Just Like This ’, in which they collaborated with Coldplay.

This summer THE CHAINSMOKERS. will shine before 25,000 people on the spectacular Dreambeach mainstage, the same stage where other stars such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Alesso, Alison Wonderland or DJ Diesel, the musical alias of Shaquille O’Neal, will parade.

The electronic macrofestival has already completed 80% of its main programming and continues to work on the artistic and technical preparations for its 8th edition. “In these difficult times, we want to encourage the dreamers and continue fighting so that we all have a wonderful summer,” said its artistic director, Gonçalo Miranda.
