In a global-defining moment, DJ Snake delivered The Final Show this past weekend in his hometown of Paris—cementing his legacy with the largest single-day solo electronic performance in history. Held at the iconic Stade de France, the sold-out event drew 80,000 fans and was immediately followed by a packed 20,000-capacity afterparty at Accor Arena. Together, the back-to-back spectacles marked a historic homecoming and a citywide takeover unlike anything the electronic world has seen.
Festivities began the night before with the return of DJ Snake’s signature brand, Pardon My French, celebrated through a massive merch pop-up at Vendredi. The event served as the official pre-party, building anticipation and energy ahead of the unforgettable weekend.
The night marked the launch of a bold new era. On one of the world’s most legendary stages, DJ Snake officially announced his third studio album, Nomad, set for release on September 5th, and revealed plans for a new record label dedicated to championing emerging talent. As part of this next chapter, the Grammy-nominated artist previewed several upcoming collaborations—including his next single, “PARADISE,” arriving mid-May, with Manchester hitmaker Bipolar Sunshine, who previously teamed up with Snake on their multi-platinum hit “Middle.” In a powerful full-circle moment, the two reunited on stage for a surprise performance of the track, delivering one of the night’s most emotional highlights.
At the peak of the evening’s intensity came one of its most defining moments: the world premiere of RELOADED, DJ Snake’s thunderous new collaboration with dubstep titan Space Laces. As the track tore through the Stade de France, Snake orchestrated the largest “Wall of Death” ever attempted in dance music—splitting 80,000 fans down the center before unleashing a perfectly timed eruption of chaos. The combination of RELOADED’s relentless bass and the sheer scale of the crowd created a breathtaking, history-making moment that is poised to immediately capture global attention.
The show’s production reached an unprecedented scale—featuring pyrotechnics that exceeded those used in the Paris Olympics closing ceremony and special effects surpassing even Rammstein’s renowned Stade de France setup. With flames lighting up the night sky and a stage design engineered for maximum impact, the spectacle perfectly matched the scale of the moment. Support performances by electronic heavyweights Tiësto and Madeon added even more momentum to the night’s build.
Following the stadium spectacle, the celebration continued late 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 a relentless back-to-back set with techno force TRYM.
The Final Show signaled a new era in DJ Snake’s career—and for electronic music at large. As he ushers in the “Year of the Snake,” DJ Snake isn’t just making history—he’s redefining the future of the genre on his own terms.
