DJ SNAKE RETURNS HOME
TO MAKE HISTORY WITH A
SOLD-OUT SHOW AT PARC
DES PRINCES STADIUM IN
PARIS
BY: CREIGHTON BRANCH PC: DJ SNAKE FACEBOOK
J im Morrison of the Hall of Fame band The Doors once said in 1969 that the future of music
would consist of one man on stage with computers and tapes standing in front of a sea
of people. Not only was Morrison correct, but his comments at that time were barely just
scratching the surface of what has now become a reality. However, each day that truism
continues to be elevated to new heights, and the latest person to set the next milestone is DJ
Snake. The larger-than-life French superstar made history in Paris this month as he played
to a sold-out crowd inside Parc des Princes stadium. Home to the world-famous soccer team, Paris
Saint-Germain, DJ Snake filled the venue with 63,000 people who surrounded him as he performed in
the middle. It’s the first time Parc des Princes has hosted a concert within its walls since Green Day in
2010, and Snake not only joins them but also Michael Jackson and Prince as some of the very few to
receive the honor of hosting a show there. Although the difference is Snake now holds the title of being
the first-ever electronic artist to perform there. The night consisted of amazing talent from start to finish,
including an unbelievable opening set from fellow Frenchman and up-and-coming artist, Acraze. When
the time came for Snake to take the spotlight, the entire structure upon which he stood came to life. With
a 360-degree rotating platform and massive pyrotechnics both inside and outside the arena, Snake put
on the best show of his career. But underneath all the history, the night was the witnessing of a young
boy’s dream coming true. You see. It was a full-circle moment for the Paris native as he was conquering
the grounds of the soccer team he is a superfan of. Few artists can reach the performance level of DJ
Snake, and with this latest outing, he continues to separate himself from the rest.
“It was a full-circle moment for the Paris native as he
was conquering the grounds of the soccer team he is a
superfan of.”
