The Chainsmokers at Encore Beach Club: pop melodies in a daytime EDM format
The Chainsmokers return to Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas on August 29, 2026, with the daytime program listed as starting at 11:00. This is not a classic concert in an indoor arena. It is a performance in a dayclub setting, with pools, sunshine, a DJ booth and an audience that moves throughout the day between the dance floor, the water and relaxation areas. This is precisely why this date is particularly well suited to the way Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart have been combining festival EDM, pop choruses and club rhythms for years.
For audiences who know The Chainsmokers from songs such as Closer, Don't Let Me Down, Something Just Like This, Paris and Roses, the performance at Encore Beach Club offers a different setting from a large touring venue. The songs that turned them into a globally recognizable pop-electronic project are incorporated here into a DJ set, where transitions, remixes and the energy of the dance floor are just as important as the choruses themselves. It is a format closer to a major festival performance than to a concert with a pre-announced running order of songs.
Ticket sales for this event are underway.
Why The Chainsmokers are still relevant in 2026
The Chainsmokers are not a project living solely off their catalog from the second half of the 2010s. The duo continued releasing new music in 2026, and shortly before the Las Vegas performance the single Inundauswendig appeared, a collaboration with German artist makko released on August 21. Earlier in the year, the single ALL THE TIME with John Summit and Ilsey was also released, while spring was marked by a collaboration with Oaks.
The EP Love Is Kind, released on May 8, 2026, features five songs that The Chainsmokers recorded with Oaks: Echo, Already Know, Five Past Three, Love Is Kind and Wild. That collaboration also has a historical context. Oaks previously performed under the name Winona Oak and collaborated with The Chainsmokers on the song Hope. The new EP is therefore not a random guest project, but a continuation of a relationship between artists who have already worked together.
At the same time, the old hits have not lost their role in the duo's identity. Closer with Halsey, Roses with ROZES, Something Just Like This with Coldplay, Don't Let Me Down with Daya and Paris remain among their most recognizable songs. The Grammy database states that The Chainsmokers won the award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2017 for Don't Let Me Down, while Closer and Something Just Like This were nominated in pop categories. That combination of dance production and very direct pop songwriting has remained the foundation of their sound.
For visitors, one more thing is important: The Chainsmokers are still performing major DJ sets in 2026. Apple Music lists their DJ mixes from EDC Las Vegas 2026 and Tomorrowland Belgium 2026, showing that the festival format remains an active part of their career. This does not confirm the set list for Encore Beach Club, but it provides a good framework for expectations - a dynamic electronic set that can connect their own hits, newer music and club transitions.
What to expect from the repertoire without guessing the set list
For the August 29 event, the exact running order of songs, the duration of the performance and the time when The Chainsmokers will take over the DJ booth have not been announced. For that reason, there is no point in promising that a particular hit will be played or claiming that the set will last a specific number of minutes.
What can be said is that the duo currently has a catalog covering several different phases. Their early EDM identity and major crossover hits from the Bouquet, Collage and Memories...Do Not Open eras remain the easiest entry point for a broad audience. Material from the albums Sick Boy, World War Joy, So Far So Good and newer releases gives them enough room for a set that does not have to rely solely on nostalgia. In 2026, Love Is Kind, Echo, ALL THE TIME and Inundauswendig were added to that catalog.
This is especially important in a dayclub environment. In an indoor arena, the audience usually follows a clear concert progression and looks toward the stage almost the entire time. At Encore Beach Club, the experience is more mobile. Part of the audience is on the main dance floor, part is by the pools, and part is in cabanas or on daybeds. The DJ set therefore functions as a continuous sonic axis of the event rather than as a sequence of separate concert segments.
For longtime fans, the greatest attraction is the opportunity to hear how the duo now integrates its best-known pop songs into a more current club sound. For a broader audience, the advantage is precisely the recognizability of the choruses: even a visitor who does not follow every new release probably knows at least several of their biggest singles. Fans of EDM, future bass, electro-pop and crossover dance music will get a format closer to a festival and a club than to a traditional pop concert.
Encore Beach Club is not a typical concert venue
Encore Beach Club is located within Encore on the Las Vegas Strip. Wynn describes it as an outdoor venue with three cascading pools, a large pool deck, daybeds, cabanas and bungalows. In its current information, Wynn lists approximately 55,000 square feet of space, while specifications for special events state a capacity of up to 3,500 people, depending on the configuration.
Those numbers explain why a performance here feels different from a classic club. The venue is large, but it is not a single enclosed rectangular hall. The audience is distributed around the water and the open deck, while the DJ booth remains the focal point for the main dance area. Wynn also lists an advanced sound and lighting system, which is crucial for a venue that regularly hosts major electronic music artists.
The outdoor space also changes the sense of proximity to the artist. Visitors on the main dance floor have a more direct relationship with the booth, while those in more distant areas experience the set more as the musical backdrop to the entire pool party. There is no single universally best spot - the choice depends on whether someone wants to dance the entire time, occasionally get into the pool or have a quieter base on the side.
It is worth securing tickets in advance if this Saturday performance is the main reason for coming to Las Vegas.
Atmosphere: daytime Las Vegas instead of a nightclub
The 11:00 time immediately defines the character of the event. Encore Beach Club normally opens at around 11 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so this is a daytime program taking place in full desert daylight rather than a nighttime set beginning after midnight. This means that planning clothing, hydration and arrival plays a greater role than at a classic concert in an air-conditioned venue.
The Chainsmokers fit this format well because their catalog contains many songs with big, memorable choruses and clear build-up/drop structures. Closer and Paris have a softer pop feel, Don't Let Me Down and Roses better showcase their EDM side, while newer collaborations allow for changes in pace without interrupting the dance character of the set. In a poolside venue, such shifts often feel more natural than strictly separating "old" and "new" songs.
It is nevertheless important to maintain realistic expectations. The program starting at 11:00 does not necessarily mean that The Chainsmokers will perform exactly at that time. A separate time for their individual set has not currently been announced, and no guest, support act or additional artist has been confirmed for that slot. The safest approach is to plan arrival according to the opening time and assume that the dayclub program may include music before the main set.
Entry rules that can change the entire plan
Encore Beach Club has stricter rules than an ordinary outdoor concert. Entry is limited to guests aged 21 and over, and a valid photo identification document is required upon entry. For international visitors, Wynn lists a valid passport or Global Entry card, while photographs or copies of documents are not accepted.
The dress code is also adapted to the dayclub. Appropriate swimwear and lightweight cover-ups are permitted, as are shorts and flip-flops. Jeans and long pants are not part of the acceptable dayclub dress code, while sportswear, torn clothing and a number of other items may be grounds for refusal of entry.
- The age limit is 21+ and identification is checked at the entrance.
- Bags and personal belongings may be inspected before entry.
- Outside food, drinks and liquids are not permitted.
- GoPro cameras, selfie sticks and certain other recording equipment are on the list of prohibited items.
- Sunscreen is permitted in sealed aerosol packaging, while liquid sunscreen is not permitted under the current rules.
It is worth checking these rules again immediately before arrival because operational policies can change. Especially for travelers coming from outside the United States, a passport should not be left in the hotel safe if it is required for entry.
How to get there and how much time to allow for arrival
Encore is located on the more northern part of the central Las Vegas Strip, at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Spring Mountain Road, opposite Fashion Show Mall. For visitors arriving from other parts of the city, taxis and rideshare services are practical, and Wynn states that such services are available at the resort entrances.
For those arriving by car, there are separate garages for Wynn and Encore. The Encore self-parking entrance is located on Encore Resort Boulevard, behind the main part of the complex. Because traffic on the Strip can slow significantly during weekends and major events, it is not advisable to rely only on the driving time shown under ideal conditions. Additional time should be allowed for entering the resort, finding the garage, walking to Encore Beach Club and going through security screening.
Travelers arriving by air should keep in mind that Harry Reid International Airport is south of the Strip. Wynn lists its complex as being a little over five miles from the airport's rental car center. In practice, transfer time depends on traffic, and a Saturday in Las Vegas can be more unpredictable than the distance on the map itself.
If you are planning your visit primarily because of The Chainsmokers, it is worth arranging tickets and transportation before the day of the event.
How to fit this performance into a stay in Las Vegas
The daytime slot leaves the evening free, but that does not mean it is wise to plan a tightly packed schedule immediately after leaving the club. Las Vegas can be extremely hot in late August, and several hours outdoors by the pool with loud music are physically more demanding than sitting in an indoor venue. Water, sun protection and lightweight clothing are not minor details but part of the practical plan.
The location within Encore makes it easier to combine the event with the rest of the Strip. Fashion Show Mall is located across from the complex, while numerous hotels, restaurants and casinos are accessible on foot or by a short drive. Nevertheless, distances on the Strip often appear shorter on a map than they are in reality because of the large resort complexes, pedestrian crossings and indoor corridors.
For audiences who want a classic concert evening with a precisely defined artist start time, fixed seating and a published running order of songs, this format is not the closest equivalent to a standard tour stop. For those who want The Chainsmokers in a venue built specifically for a major EDM dayclub set, Encore Beach Club is the more logical choice: an open-air pool complex, a large DJ booth, a sound system designed for electronic music and an audience that comes both for the artists and for the entire daytime party experience.
