DJ Snake’s Quasar takeover
DJ Snake announced a “Pardon My French” takeover at Coachella’s Quasar Stage for Saturday, April 18, billing it as a historic moment for the French collective on the festival bill (ravejungle.com).
DJ Snake is turning Coachella’s Quasar stage into a “Pardon My French” showcase on Saturday, April 18, during the festival’s second weekend. (djsnake.com) Coachella’s 2026 lineup lists “DJ Snake’s Pardon My French,” and DJ Mag’s report on the Quasar schedule says it is the Saturday host for Weekend 2 in Indio, California. (coachella.com) (djmag.com) Quasar is Coachella’s stage for extended dance sets, with one act or concept leading each day across April 10-12 and April 17-19. The 2026 Quasar hosts are PAWSA, David Guetta, Fatboy Slim, Armin van Buuren with Adam Beyer, DJ Snake’s Pardon My French, and Sara Landry’s Blood Oath. (djmag.com) That puts DJ Snake’s set in a different lane from a standard festival slot. Coachella has billed Quasar separately from the main stage schedule, and outside coverage of the 2026 announcement described the format as extended sets rather than quick-change performances. (coachella.com) (edmidentity.com) “Pardon My French” is not a one-off tagline. It is the French electronic collective built around DJ Snake, Tchami, Malaa, and Mercer, a group that has toured together in the United States and remained part of each artist’s branding. (insomniac.com) (edmidentity.com) The Coachella booking also lands in the middle of a broader 2026 run for the brand. DJ Snake’s tour page lists “Pardon My French: Coachella, CA” on April 18, a stadium date in Lyon on June 27, and a Cannes stop on August 9. (djsnake.com) Coachella has leaned harder into dance music in recent years, and Quasar is one of the clearest signs of that shift. The festival’s official 2026 lineup mixes pop and rap headliners with dance names across the bill, while Quasar gives electronic acts a dedicated home for longer-form sets. (coachellavalley.com) (djmag.com) Weekend 2 runs April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club, and Coachella says YouTube is again the exclusive livestream partner for both weekends. If the Quasar feed is carried, DJ Snake’s takeover is set for Saturday, April 18. (coachellavalley.com) (coachella.com)
