The Chainsmokers surprised hundreds of students at Arizona State University on Friday, April 18, by performing a surprise set at the Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) fraternity. This occurred just hours before they headlined Breakaway Arizona. The EDM duo performed many of its iconic hits, such as “Roses” and “Don’t Let Me Down.”
After performing their first song, Tempe Police showed up and issued a ticket for a noise complaint, but it didn’t deter their performance. Determined to keep going, The Chainsmokers announced they would pay the ticket to keep performing.
After the police left, Drew Taggart, the singer from The Chainsmokers, got the whole crowd hyped by jumping on the DJ stand to sing the lyrics of their famous song, “Closer.” They also played some unreleased songs that the crowd seemed to love. The Chainsmokers performed an amazing set full of energy and excitement as they played their biggest hits. This was a day that every student in the crowd will remember.
Days after their performance, The Chainsmokers uploaded a photo of the ticket they received from the Tempe Police Department to their Instagram story with the caption “@tempepolice what’s your Venmo?”
Hopefully, there won’t be sound or permitting issues for The Chainsmokers when they play their San Francisco block party next month on May 25. They’re also booked to play at the newly renovated Brooklyn Mirage on May 22 + 23.
