DJ Snake’s Historic Final Show in Paris
In a landmark event, DJ Snake presented The Final Show this past weekend in his native Paris, solidifying his legacy as he achieved the largest single-day solo electronic performance ever. The event took place at the renowned Stade de France, attracting 80,000 fans, followed by a high-energy afterparty for 20,000 attendees at the Accor Arena. This remarkable back-to-back event marked an unprecedented homecoming and a takeover of the city that the electronic music scene has never witnessed before.
Celebrations kicked off the night before with DJ Snake’s iconic brand, Pardon My French, featuring an extensive merchandise pop-up at Vendredi. This gathering served as the official pre-party, generating excitement and anticipation for the unforgettable weekend. The night also heralded the beginning of a new chapter for DJ Snake. On one of the world’s most prestigious stages, he announced his upcoming third studio album, titled Nomad, set to be released on September 5th. Additionally, he unveiled plans for a new record label aimed at supporting emerging talent. During this pivotal moment, the Grammy-nominated artist previewed several collaborations, including the forthcoming single “PARADISE,” scheduled for mid-May, featuring Manchester’s Bipolar Sunshine, who previously collaborated with Snake on the multi-platinum hit “Middle.” In a powerful moment of nostalgia, the two artists shared the stage for a surprise performance of the track, which became one of the evening’s most emotive highlights.
One of the most exhilarating moments of the night occurred as DJ Snake premiered RELOADED, his explosive new collaboration with dubstep powerhouse Space Laces. As the track reverberated throughout the Stade de France, Snake executed the largest “Wall of Death” ever attempted in electronic music, separating 80,000 fans before unleashing a perfectly synchronized wave of chaos. The combination of RELOADED’s relentless bass and the sheer scale of the audience created a jaw-dropping, historic moment destined to gain worldwide attention.
The production of the show reached new heights, featuring pyrotechnics that surpassed those used in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, along with special effects that even outshone Rammstein’s famed Stade de France setup. With flames illuminating the night sky and a stage designed for maximum impact, the spectacle matched the significance of the occasion. Support performances by electronic legends Tiësto and Madeon further amplified the energy of the night. Following the spectacular stadium performance, the celebration continued deep into the night at Accor Arena, where DJ Snake delivered an elite afterparty lineup featuring Boys Noize, Bellorum, Devault, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus, his heavyweight alias The Outlaw, and an unrelenting back-to-back set with techno sensation TRYM.
The Final Show marked a new chapter in DJ Snake’s career and in the broader realm of electronic music. As he embarks on what he calls the “Year of the Snake,” DJ Snake is not only making history but also reshaping the future of the genre on his own terms. FANS CAN NOW PRE-ORDER NOMAD HERE.
