Jean-Michel Jarre: The legendary electronic music artist is coming to Athens for a concert
Where and when it will take place, and when ticket pre-sales begin
One of the leading pioneers of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre, will be coming to Athens this summer to perform a concert on Monday, June 22, at the Xefoto (Clearing) of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, as part of Release Athens x SNF Nostos 2026.
Jean-Michel Jarre is the visionary who brought progressive electronic music into the mainstream and paved the way for synth-pop, new age, and trance. He rose to global fame in 1976 with Oxygène, a landmark synth odyssey recorded in his home studio that went on to sell over 12 million copies worldwide. Fifty years later, with 22 studio albums and more than 85 million records sold, he continues to innovate—recently captivating over 120,000 spectators in Bratislava with Bridge From The Future and impressing audiences at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.

Jean-Michel Jarre is not just a pioneering musician; he is the visionary who brought progressive music to the mainstream and paved the way for synth pop, new age, and trance.

Fifty years later, with 22 studio albums and over 85 million sales under his belt, he continues to innovate, recently captivating over 120,000 spectators in Bratislava with his open-air concert-event Bridge From The Future and thrilling the crowd at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.
His concerts are spectacles that exceed all expectations, combining sound, laser shows and mesmerizing visual effects. He has broken the world record for audience attendance many times, gathering 1 million spectators at Place de la Concorde, 1.3 million in Houston, 2.5 million at La Défense, and 3.5 million in Moscow. He was also the first Western artist invited to perform in the People’s Republic of China, on a tour captured on his famous 1981 live album The Concerts In China, and has also appeared in iconic locations such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Sahara Desert, the Forbidden City, the Dead Sea, and the Eiffel Tower.
On Monday, June 22, Jean-Michel Jarre will be at the SNFCC Great Lawn to give us a chance to experience an impressive show that sums up his entire innovative career, his evolution over the decades, and his timeless influence.
