DJ Snake’s Quasar takeover

DJ Snake is taking over Coachella’s Quasar stage on Saturday, April 18, with a “Pardon My French” set added to the festival’s Weekend 2 plans. (coachella.com) Coachella’s official 2026 lineup page lists “DJ Snake’s Pardon My French,” “DJ Snake x RL Grime x Flosstradamus,” “DJ Snake x Knock2,” and Madeon among the festival acts for April 17-19 in Indio, California. (coachella.com) Music outlet EDM.com reported on April 15 that the Quasar takeover is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, and said the bill includes a first formal joint set pairing RL Grime and Flosstradamus, plus a closing back-to-back set with Knock2. (edm.com) Quasar is Coachella’s long-form dance stage, and the 2026 festival has used it for expanded electronic bookings beyond the main poster. The festival’s January lineup expansion added Quasar names including David Guetta, Armin van Buuren with Adam Beyer, Sara Landry, and DJ Snake. (edmidentity.com) That makes this booking less like a standard one-hour festival slot and more like a curated block built around DJ Snake’s circle and sound. Coachella’s own lineup page reflects that shift by listing both the takeover name and its individual pairings as separate attractions. (coachella.com) The “Pardon My French” name carries its own history in dance music. DJ Snake, Tchami, Mercer, and Malaa have used it for a French collective and touring brand that packages club-focused sets under a shared banner. (ravejungle.com) EDM.com said Madeon’s contribution is billed as an “all-French touch DJ set,” pointing to a lane of French electronic music associated with acts such as Daft Punk and Justice. The same report framed the rest of the program around trap-heavy names tied to the early 2010s festival circuit. (edm.com) For fans who are not in Indio, Coachella says Weekend 2 will stream on YouTube from April 17-19 with seven stages available live. The festival has not said on its livestream page which specific Quasar sets will be carried. (coachella.com) The immediate next step is simple: Quasar’s Saturday crowd gets DJ Snake’s most dance-focused Coachella play of the weekend, and the rest of the festival gets another electronic event folded into Weekend 2.
