DJ Snake Taps Knock2 and ISOxo for Pardon My French Takeover in China

DJ Snake is taking his signature Pardon My French curation to one of China’s massive festival stages. The global hitmaker has officially announced a main stage takeover at Vision & Colour Festival (VAC) in Hengqin, scheduled for November 28-29.

The takeover follows a high-profile Pardon My French residency at Coachella’s Quasar stage earlier this year. That appearance featured a heavy rotation of bass music royalty, and the China edition looks to follow a similar blueprint of bridging different generations of club culture. The curation reflects Snake’s long-standing influence in the trap and bass scenes, even as he maintains his status as a diamond-certified pop collaborator.

Heavyweight B2B Performances

The VAC lineup is anchored by two rare back-to-back pairings. DJ Snake B2B Knock2 brings together a pioneer of the 2010s trap explosion with the leader of the current high-energy "isoknock" movement. For fans of the genre, it’s a passing-of-the-torch moment on one of the biggest stages in the world.

The second pairing, ISOxo B2B Boys Noize, offers a cross-continental collision of styles. ISOxo has become the face of modern trap, while Boys Noize remains a cornerstone of raw electro and techno. By booking them together, Pardon My French continues its tradition of ignoring genre silos in favor of raw energy.

A Growing Market in China

Vision & Colour Festival has rapidly become a central hub for electronic music in Asia. In 2025, it made history as the first Chinese festival to break into the DJ Mag Top 100 Festivals list. Hosting an event series as established as Pardon My French signals the festival's ambition to remain a top-tier destination for international touring acts.

DJ Snake’s career has been defined by his ability to move between massive radio hits like "Lean On" and "Taki Taki" and the aggressive club sounds of his Nomad era. Pardon My French serves as the vehicle for the latter, focusing on the underground energy that first put him on the map. The collective has grown from a simple branding exercise into a full-scale fashion and event label that defines his creative reach.

With a "special guest appearance" still under wraps, the anticipation for the Hengqin event is reaching a fever pitch. You can follow edm_army_
