DJ Snake at the Parc des Princes, it’s obvious. The artist has Paris Saint-Germain pegged to the body, the colors red and blue to the heart, him the child of the Parisian suburbs. “Obviously, the choice is sentimental. It’s a stadium I’ve been going to since I was a kid.“, he explains at the microphone of France Info. This is my heart team. Paris Saint-Germain, I have a very strong relationship with this club. The storytelling is amazing.“
I went there by RER with my friends when we were teenagers, and today to fill this stadium and do a concert there, it’s just crazy.
Sold out
