French May Arts Festival is returning for its 33rd edition and has announced a new electronic dance music event as part of the programme. DJ Snake will headline the open-air show in Hong Kong on 8 May 2026. The event is billed as a Sino-French electronic music show and is set to include a special on-stage collaboration with a leading Hong Kong DJ.
DJ Snake arrives with a catalogue that most festival crowds already know by heart. The French producer broke through with “Turn Down for What” and later moved easily between club music and pop-facing collaborations, including “Lean On”, “Let Me Love You”, and “Taki Taki”.
His third studio album Nomad landed on 7 November 2025, ending the gap since Carte Blanche in 2019. The campaign was not a quiet return. Singles rolled out across 2025, including “Noventa” with J Balvin and “In the Dark”, helping keep attention on the project heading into 2026.
For Hong Kong fans, the 2026 headline show adds a new milestone, but it is not the first time the artist has played the city. DJ Snake last appeared in Hong Kong at Dragon-i’s 20th anniversary party in April 2023. Before that, DJ Snake also performed at Creamfields in 2019.
Venue and ticketing information are yet to be announced.
