If DJ Snake appeared with a "cool" look and his inseparable black glasses - a familiar style that made the brand of this "hit-making machine", then his "friend" Balvin dressed comfortably with a tank top, black glasses, and a gentler and more welcoming smile.

On 8Wonder's official fanpage, the contrasting appearances of the two artists when they arrived in Vietnam received many humorous comments from netizens.

According to the organizers, "hit-making machine" DJ Snake will take on the main artist position with the longest music set (about 75 minutes), burning up the 8Wonder stage with peak performances and sublimation of music .
