DJ Snake performed in Sri Lanka for the first time, headlining Senter Festival 2026 at Port City Colombo. The multi-platinum music producer is known internationally for hit tracks such as ‘Lean On’, ‘Taki Taki’ and ‘Turn Down for What’.
He led the main bandstand show, supported by a line-up of regional and international DJs, including DJ Mass, Juppe, Ishan x Binu, Krys Theory, Shey x Azex, Flecan x Chihiro, Ze Silva x Aeron Draid and Yoshiko.
‘Senter Music Festival was organised to introduce true Sri Lankan hospitality to the world while delivering a full-scale international festival experience’ said Addam Maleq of LFG Global Entertainment, the event’s producers.
‘From showcasing top-tier global acts such as DJ Snake to supporting our own local stars and discovering new talent across the island, Senter is built to unite people through music’ he added.
I have kept the tone factual and newspaper-like, while retaining the key points of the organiser’s statement without making the story sound too promotional.
During his stay, DJ Snake also had the opportunity to explore the heritage of the Galle Face Hotel, walking through its historic spaces and visiting the hotel museum, which preserves the stories and memories of distinguished personalities who have stayed there over the years.
He also signed the hotel’s VIP Guest Book, continuing a tradition that records the visits of notable personalities from around the world.
At the iconic Chequerboard, overlooking the Indian Ocean, DJ Snake enjoyed the sunset and spent time interacting with guests.
As the Official Hospitality Partner of Senter Festival 2026, Galle Face Hotel hosted the international music star during his visit to Sri Lanka.
For over 160 years, Galle Face Hotel has welcomed distinguished personalities, cultural icons and travellers from around the world. DJ Snake’s visit adds to this long history, bringing together the hotel’s rich heritage and a new generation of international music talent.
