BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Hello Fans,

Just an update for you...I've been on the phone with the Powerstock Festival Organisers for almost an hour this morning, trying to find out what exactly the situation is from their perspective, since I spoke to them yesterday.

All I can say, is that despite the official statement of the cancellation of the Concert from Aero Productions, the Powerstock Festival Organisers are continuing to negotiate with Jean Michel Jarre's Production Team, and believe they have a chance to solve the problems that have resulted in Jean Michel Jarre's cancellation, but they realise that they have to solve everything by the end of today.

They have agreed to keep me informed throughout the day of any progress they make, but they do believe it will be very late in the day before they really know the final outcome, which may not even be until the early hours of Sunday morning. I have given them permission to call me, no matter what time of night or morning, so that as soon as they know what is happening, I will know and subsequently you all will know too, as I will obviously pass the information on to you all, both through here and through JARRE UK.

Fingers crossed...

Blimey, so there is a chance it is to going to happen. Fingers crossed and praying.

nowadays Jarre concerts have very poor organization and promotion, mostly thinking on Water for Life.

I have to agree with you there. If I was going and paid for all the travel, accommodation and tickets, I would like to be 100% positive in advance that it is going ahead. I mean what if you try and get your money back and don't go and then the concert goes ahead. Or if you go and you think that the concert is going ahead but then it does not. What a headache and a lot of stress.

Would you bet any money that JMJ will play at the Powerstock Festival Concert?

Hello Fans,

This afternoon, I have been in contact with Jean Michel Jarre's Management, Aero Productions, with regards to my recent conversations with the Powerstock Festival Organisers, and asked for them to once again clarify their situation to Fans. Their response is below:-

"We maintain our position as of yesterday as final. We have received no contract signed nor downpayment. We shall endeavour to have Powerstock confirm our position."

Aero Productions have also advised that due to Warner Music France's weekend office closure, the Official Statement of the Concert's cancellation will not be posted on Jean Michel Jarre's Official Web-Site (www.jeanmicheljarre.com) until Monday.

Just keeping you informed...

Thanx for keeping us informed. This is kinda of what I expected though. Anyway, see you all there, leaving tomorow, concert or no concert I need a holiday!

Thanks Dunkie for the update, keep it up!

Jarre's team and the Warner buddys will most certainly not let him play
at the Powerstock festival in Italy and I don't have to bet.

To the previous question I would've said...Nineteen - Paul Hardcastle

How's that?
Do you think Jarre will plan an even bigger show
before the end of this year, if he's not going to Italy?
How are you?
Do you like to have many questions at the same time?
Why not or how many?

Thanks Dunkie for posting the latest news on the concert.

If there is no concert maybe all the fans could meet up for a fan meeting. Anyway have a good time one way or another whatever happens.

Not sure.

Yes I hope so.

Velodynamic wrote:How are you?

I am fine today.

Velodynamic wrote:Do you like to have many questions at the same time?

No not really. That's too many questions first thing in the morning. I am still half asleep.

Velodynamic wrote:Why not or how many?

Because one at a time seems easy.

Do you think I have answered the questions correctly?

It is so sad.

I wonder how much money were the AERO PROD and Power SF talking about. Probably the festival organizers relyed on ticket sells to get neccesary money....

I think now it is 99.99% decided that there will be no JMJ concert.

You know, Francis Rimbert is the only one without headache now...

They removed Jean Michel Jarre's name from the festival flyer now, which is
show on the MySpace Powerstock site.
So I guess they know themself now, that JMJ will stay home.

Latest from the powerstock.org

Looks like the plug has been well and truely pulled........

On the plus side, I'm still going to go to Italy for a few days and meet up with some fans and have a really good time, who need Jarre anyway ...
I'll hopefully see some of you over there soon.

Thanks Cathy for the update. Have a good time anyway.

Right then it's not to be.
Oh well waiting for the next showcase or concert.
