The Chainsmokers to answer global pleas, launch themselves into space
The duo is set to perform in a capsule launched by World View in 2024
In a continued effort to send humanity’s worst ambassadors to the edge of space, thereby ensuring our eventual destruction by alien species that see no purpose in preserving our way of life, horrible EDM act The Chainsmokers will soon be launched into the stratosphere to leak their unique brand of sonic poison into the cosmos.
As The Associated Press explains, The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and Alex Pall have announced that they’re planning “to get into a pressurized capsule tethered to a stratospheric balloon in a few years and perform some 20 miles above the Earth.” Once there, they’ll play a set within the balloon capsule, which can include up to eight passengers. The Associated Press article ominously notes that flights of the kind The Chainsmokers will board “last six to 12 hours.”
The company responsible for helping the duo claim the title of “the first musical artists to perform at the edge of space”—a title that will live with humankind forevermore—is space tourism group World View.
