The Chainsmokers are set to perform live at the edge of space, thanks to a new collaboration with space balloon company World View.Actually, I don’t think “space balloon company” is how World View refers to itself, but it basically plans to float passengers up into the stratosphere in a capsule attached to a big balloon.
So, what else am I supposed to call it? Either way, Chainsmokers will play their next gig in a space balloon.Actually, not their next gig.
This isn’t going to happen until 2024 when the company opens two of the spaceports it’s building around the world.“We have always dreamed of going to space and are stoked to collaborate with World View to have this adventure and experience”, say The Chainsmokers. “We know the views of both Earth and space are going to be incredible and inspiring and we hope to leverage this flight for creativity on future projects”.Now, the people travelling with them might be a bit too distracted by those views to actually pay attention to their performance.
Who cares though? Presumably The Chainsmokers will be happy just getting a free trip to (almost) space even if no one really listens to their music.Especially so, given that World View is charging $50,000 a seat on standard flights, which will last six to twelve hours.
