You must go !!!

I saw a post in Facebook yesterday from someone in England who received a reply from Fiona via email saying that we will not have any UK dates this year...

Fiona....on Facebook?
That might be a fake Fiona...

He received a message via email from AERO PROD (by Fiona) and posted it in a community

Excuse me.
That makes sense.

There are 5 empty days between Poland and Hungary....there might be an event to be confirmed for one of those days...?

I suppose two shows could appear - 22.06 and 24.06. My bet would be on Austria and Czechia.

Groundbreaking Music That Shaped Generations

With a remarkable career spanning over five decades, Jean-Michel Jarre has consistently pushed musical boundaries. His iconic albums such as “Oxygène” (1976), “Équinoxe” (1978), “Magnetic Fields” (1981), and “Zoolook” (1984) have become cornerstones of electronic music, inspiring countless artists including Daft Punk, Air, Moby, and The Chemical Brothers. With more than 85 million records sold worldwide, Jarre remains one of Europe’s most successful and celebrated musicians.

His talent for musical innovation runs deep: Jean-Michel Jarre inherited his passion for music from his father, Maurice Jarre, the acclaimed composer known for film soundtracks such as “Doctor Zhivago.”

Monumental Concerts and Record-Breaking Performances

Jarre is renowned for his spectacular live concerts that blend cutting-edge technology with mesmerizing visual effects. Throughout his career, he has set multiple attendance records at iconic locations around the world:

In July 1990, Jarre performed in front of an incredible audience of 2.5 million people in Paris’ La Défense district.

Seven years later, he broke his own record with a historic concert in Moscow celebrating the city’s 850th anniversary, attended by 3.5 million spectators.
His groundbreaking virtual concert from a digital replica of Notre-Dame Cathedral on New Year’s Eve 2021 captivated over 75 million viewers globally.
Jean-Michel Jarre has also headlined major international festivals such as Coachella in the United States and performed at prestigious events including the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Stade de France.

Embracing Innovation: VR, AR, and the Metaverse

Always at the forefront of technological innovation, Jean-Michel Jarre continues to explore new creative horizons by incorporating virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and metaverse experiences into his performances. In December 2023, he delivered an exclusive livestream concert from the iconic Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles to celebrate its 400th anniversary. Additionally, his acclaimed show “Bridge From The Future,” performed at Bratislava’s Starmus Festival in 2024, attracted more than 120,000 attendees both onsite and via online streaming channels.

A Special Connection with Hungarian Audiences

Jean-Michel Jarre has maintained a strong bond with Hungarian fans since his very first performance in Budapest’s Népstadion in 1993. His most recent concert took place in 2016 at the same venue he’ll be returning to this summer—the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna. This upcoming event marks his seventh appearance in Budapest and promises to be one of the most exciting musical highlights of the year.

What to Expect from the Concert

The Budapest concert will feature a carefully curated setlist blending timeless classics like “Oxygène,” “Équinoxe,” and “Magnetic Fields,” alongside Jarre’s latest compositions. Attendees can look forward to an immersive audiovisual experience enhanced by state-of-the-art digital effects and mesmerizing multimedia elements that have become hallmarks of Jean-Michel Jarre’s legendary performances.

From French highways to American airports: Jean-Michel Jarre's unknown secrets
The pioneer of electronic music will perform on July 1 at the Place des Palais in Brussels. An exceptional event, almost ten years after his last visit to Belgium.
Jean-Michel Jarre is preparing to electrify Brussels with a grandiose concert on the Place des Palais on July 1st. For lovers of electronic music and impressive visual shows, this is an appointment not to be missed. With his lasers, giant projections and pyrotechnic effects, the artist marked the minds from the 80s and 90s, attracting gigantic crowds, as in La Défense in 1990 with 2.5 million spectators or in Moscow, where he gathered 3.5 million.
"Oxygène", a timeless success
Behind these disproportionate shows, we would almost forget the music that made Jean-Michel Jarre famous. His biggest hit, Oxygene, Pt. 4, will also celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026. The album "Oxygène" sold 18 million copies worldwide, an exceptional performance for an instrumental record, without a real promotional single. However, his music has found a place in popular culture, in particular by accompanying the opening of the A4 motorway in France, the one that leads to Disneyland Paris.
The artist has always cultivated an original approach. From 1972, his first album, Deserted Palace, was not even distributed in stores: it was used as ambient music in airports and libraries in the United States. In 1983, he pushed the experimentation even further with "Music for Supermarket", an album produced in a single copy, before his only vinyl was sold at auction." Pirate me," he then said, anticipating the era of musical sharing.
With nearly 85 million records sold and cult songs like "Equinoxe", Jean-Michel Jarre remains an essential figure in electronic music. At the age of 76, he continues to push the limits of live shows, and his concert in Brussels promises to be a moment of nostalgia and innovation. The Place des Palais promises to be crowded to celebrate this artist who has marked several generations.

Anyway, due to Electronica tour is over, what if some rearranged reworked pieces for summer tour?

Are all the shows now announced or can we expect a few more?
I was wondering why are all the shows announced seperately and not at once?

There's still some room between some of the concert dates, I hope there's still some more concerts. There's not even a concert in France (maybe if you count La Rochelle last year, if the setlist is the same).

What is that Gary Wallis video is about?
