Spring is in full swing, and the French May Arts Festival is just a few months away. While Hongkongers can anticipate a wide range of events spanning dance, music, visual arts, theatre and culinary experiences, we’ve got our eyes on the festival’s headline show on May 8. Set to take place in front of Victoria Harbour, the massive outdoor showcase will host international star DJ Snake, bringing a vibrant dose of Francophone culture to Hong Kong.

As his debut performance in the city, DJ Snake will shake up Hong Kong with signature electronic sounds and high-energy production, promising a night of pulsating beats and spectacular visuals. He’ll also collaborate with a leading local DJ to create a unique East-meets-West performance.

As one of the biggest names in electronic music, DJ Snake has accumulated over 52 million monthly Spotify listeners and over 40 billion streams, along with selling out arenas globally.  Having collaborated with artists across Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Future, BTS’ Jungkook, and plenty more, the leading DJ has been credited with creating chart-topping smash hits including ‘Let Me Love You’, ‘Lean On’, ‘Middle’, and ‘Taki Taki’.
