French superstar DJ Snake is set to ignite Coachella 2026 with a high-octane Pardon My French takeover on the Quasar stage this Saturday, April 18.
The special showcase brings together some of electronic music’s leading trap and bass artists for a high-impact night driven by 808-heavy sounds. Fans can expect a historic first-time back-to-back featuring DJ Snake, RL Grime and Flosstradamus. Despite their shared roots in the early 2010s trap scene, this is the first time they have come together for an official set. This will then be followed by another standout B2B as DJ Snake joins forces with rising bass talent KNOCK2. Bringing a melodic French influence to the lineup, Madeon will deliver a special all-French DJ set featuring selections inspired by iconic acts such as Daft Punk and Justice, while Devault opens the night.
This marks one of the most anticipated electronic moments of weekend two at Indio’s Empire Polo Club — a true celebration of the raw, playful spirit that made Pardon My French a scene favourite years ago. With unexpected moments and high-impact festival energy throughout, the set taps into the spirit of SoundCloud trap’s golden era while still feeling fresh and current. 
Snake knows how to make Coachella unforgettable. In 2024 he delivered a high-energy main set in the Sahara Tent before surprising fans with a rare, curated hip-hop takeover at the Do LaB stage, blending trap anthems and classic hip-hop cuts that left the tent in absolute chaos. We’re looking forward to seeing how this Pardon My French edition compares, especially with the heavy trap reunion and fresh B2Bs on the cards.
DJ Snake’s fifth Coachella run is already shaping up to be his most exciting yet. If you’re at weekend two, lock in the Quasar stage on Saturday night — this takeover is not to be missed.
