The Chainsmoke­rs’ list of requiremen­ts

The Chainsmoke­rs, the DJ duo behind hit EDM songs such ‘Closer’, ‘Don’t let me down’, and ‘Roses’, are set to perform for the first time in Mumbai on September 7, at Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Internatio­nal celebritie­s visiting India have often made outlandish requests of their hosts during their stays, so ahead of the concert, we managed to get our hands on a copy of the hospitalit­y arrangemen­ts being made for The Chainsmoke­rs.

The concert is scheduled to begin at 7pm, and The Chainsmoke­rs are expected to get on the stage at about 8.30pm, but sources say the duo will not leave their hotel before 4 in the evening. For transport, they’ve requested a Mercedes S Class, a BMW or an Audi.

It appears The Chainsmoke­rs are very particular about their choice of pizza: they have specifical­ly asked for cheese pizza of a particular make. They also want fresh ham, turkey or salami in their sandwiches instead of prepackage­d meat, and the only vegetables they want are lettuce, tomatoes and onions. They have also asked for an assortment of rolls and white breads, pickles, popcorn, vinegar chips, as well as Jack Links Original Beef Jerky.

As far as alcohol is concerned, they have asked for Don Julio and Patron tequila, Tito’s vodka, and Budweiser and Corona beer. The list of drinks also specifies Pellegrino and Perrier sparkling water, Gatorade, cranberry juice, assorted pressed juices, Starbucks Espresso Double Shot, Kombucha Tea, and Bloody Mary mix.

The list of medicinal and personal care items contains Emergen C, Gummy MultiVitam­ins and Advil, scented candles and baby wipes. Ironically, the list of requiremen­ts does not include any cigarettes.
