Pressrelease
Latin America Tour
Posted on November 4, 2017 by Jarre Team
Important message from Jean-Michel Jarre’s Management
It is with sincere and deep regret that we are compelled to announce that Jean-Michel Jarre’s November 2017 Latin America tour dates cannot be honored due to breach of contract with local promoter & organiser, Fénix Entertainment Group.
Despite our tireless on-going efforts and continuous official alerts, Fenix Entertainment Group have not respected the contract and therefore have not given us the means to be able to deliver the production, the equipment, the crew and the artist, overseas, at this ultimate hour.
It is our duty today, as Jean-Michel Jarre’s Management and Production team, to protect our longstanding loyal crew, our regular equipment suppliers and our Artist, from non-payments by the local promoter, now at less than one week before the first concert in Buenos Aires contracted for November 9th, followed by Santiago de Chile November 14th and Mar del Plata November 17th. Fenix Entertainment Group are solely responsible for the cancellations of the concerts.
Not withstanding Jarre’s visit last September to Santiago de Chile & Buenos Aires, to personally promote the tour dates on national media, plus the thousands of ticket sales to date, Fénix Entertainment Group has not honored its contractual commitments and responsibilities.
To all the fans and those thousands of people who have purchased tickets, we can only sincerely apologize for this unexpected and unfortunate outcome, that is totally beyond our control.
Please rest assured that we have done everything in our power to ensure that the concerts in Argentina & Chile be maintained as announced, however Fénix Entertainment Group’s non-respect of contractual schedule has taken us all hostage at this very last minute.
Jean-Michel Jarre and his team would like to thank all the fan communities in Latin America for their continuous support and trust, as well as their role in promising these show’s announced success: we sincerely hope that you will all be reimbursed for your spend, as we too intend to take legal action, also for Jean-Michel Jarre’s name & image prejudice.
