Dj Snake Commands A Packed Quasar Stage At Coachella With An All-Day “Pardon My French” Takeover

A continuous run that held Quasar from start to finish across trap, bass and club music, with DJ Snake joined on stage by close collaborators and friends, including Knock2, RL Grime, Madeon, Flosstradamus and Devault

Sunday, April 19, 2026 DJ Snake returned to Coachella for the fifth time in his career, delivering a standout performance during Weekend 2, taking over the Quasar Stage for the entire day with his Pardon My French series as a continuous run from day into night.

Planned as a complete stage takeover rather than a single set, Pardon My French lineup moved across trap, bass, house and club-driven sounds, maintaining consistent intensity and high energy throughout. From Devault’s opening house set, setting the tone early, through to Madeon’s French touch-leaning DJ set, the energy built steadily across the day, with Quasar hosting one of its largest crowds of the weekend.

DJ Snake took over the Quasar stage, bringing out RL Grime and Flosstradamus, often recognized as two of the godfathers of trap music, for their first-ever back-to-back performance, alongside Snake, before the set evolved into a multi-artist moment with Diplo and Tyga joining on stage. The set delivered a run of high-impact records, drove one of the strongest crowd reactions of the day, and brought the set into a full-circle moment for trap music, with intense crowd energy spilling beyond the stage area.

DJ Snake continued the night with a back-to-back set alongside Knock2, closing out the stage with a standout finale that bridged different generations of artists and sounds, featuring special guests ISOxo and Ninajirachi.

Now several appearances into his Coachella run, DJ Snake continues to leave his mark on the festival, reflecting his influence on the electronic music scene and his ability to move between different genres while maintaining a distinct identity.

The Coachella performance follows a major run for DJ Snake this year across Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, and further highlights how Pardon My French continues to bring together established names and emerging talent, creating space for new energy while connecting different scenes.

Through Pardon My French, DJ Snake continues to bring a vision rooted in culture to life, shaping how different sounds and artists come together in a live setting where both the culture and fans come first.
