Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated, French DJ and producer DJ Snake has cancelled his six-city India tour in February because he is "battling a health issue", according to a statement he released to fans.

Known for 'Leon On' among other hits, William Sami Etienne Grigahcine, is who known by his stage name around the world, was set to perform in India as part of a Sunburn Arena tour from February 6 in Kolkata, followed by February 7 in Hyderabad, and February 8 in Bengaluru, before he travelled to perform in Pune, Mumbai and Delhi on February 13, 14 and 15 respectively.

In a statement on his social media, DJ Snake stated, "Hey guys, I've been battling a health issue for a while, and it's finally caught up with me. After talking with my doctors, I need to have surgery in early February. it's something I can't push or delay anymore, and I'll need a month to fully rest and recover after that.
This means canceling all my shows, including the India tour and that decision has been incredibly hard. But I need to get back to 100% and this is the only way. Thank you for your love & understanding. I'll be back soon, stronger than before. William."

Reacting to his post among other friends and fans, world-renowned DJ Calvin Harris offered him a speedy recovery, saying, "Take care of yourself"

While DJ Snake's tour was initially scheduled to happen in September and October 2025, it was later rescheduled to February 2026, amid a busy music concert season in India. After his last performance in India in 2022, the music producer was supposed to come to the country for the third time, but fans will now have to wait to hear him play some of his biggest hits. It is even more exciting because he released his third studio album 'Nomad' in November 2025, and fans will get to hear a lot of new music.

With that being said, we can't wait for him to be healthy again, and get back to creating music.
