"Of all the street demonstrations of the protest of June 1976, by far the biggest ones took place in central city of Radom"


Perhaps there is a programme of commemorative events, and the city authorities have a budget for the JMJ show.
I don't know. It's still just a bit weird. Granted, it's larger than last year's Słupsk and at least it's in central Poland... Also the city is a meme :>

BTW. JMJs Twitter now claims the sale starts on Thursday at 12:00 CET, while the organizer's website still claims 10:00 CET (same day)

Just checked the travel options and yeah, that's pretty much Słupsk from last year all over again *) - hotels in Radom are pretty scarce (not to mention their availability for this particular night), there's a train to Warsaw at 00:37 (probably a safe bet, the concert is pretty much open air so I doubt it will start before 22:00), but if you live anywhere else you'll have to wait approx 3 hours for a connecting train. Sub-optimal...

*) Słupsk was actually better for me, as I caught an airport shuttle to Gdańsk at 2am and I just spent the morning watching the sunrise walking along the seashore

"I just spent the morning watching the sunrise walking along the seashore" - that sounds wonderful! 😍

In 2011, when JMJ played Monaco, I happened to be in Nice on holiday with my family. Pure coincidence.

My children were both very young. Greg was 4 years old and Natasha was just 2 years old. My wife Charlotte stayed in the rented apartment with them while I went to the show on my own. I took a service bus along the coast that afternoon and then waited after the show for one of the dedicated concert buses. I remember sitting in the street, by one of those flash casinos you see in James Bond movies, Ferraris and Lamborghinis parked outside, waiting, waiting and waiting and wondering if a bus would ever turn up. It finally did but hours later and I only arrived back in Nice around 5am. It didn’t drop me anywhere near the part of the city where my family was, so I too walked along the seashore watching the sunrise, making my way back home 😊

Fast forward thirteen years and my daughter, now aged 15 was standing alongside me at the Bratislava concert. We appear together in the photobook. Afterwards, we walked back – with you Jote! – over the UFO bridge that started to bounce under the huge crowds of people. Happy memories.

Isn’t life great?

Jean-Michel Jarre will play at the stadium in Radom on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of June '76
Jean-Michel Jarre, one of the world's most important electronic music creators, will perform on June 19 at the stadium in Radom. The concert will take place on the occasion of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Radom's June '76 - announced the mayor of the city Radosław Witkowski.
The French composer and performer is to prepare a special program on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of June '76. Witkowski reminded that this year also marks 50 years since the release in France of one of Jarre's most important albums - "Oxygene". - We all hope that in this great multimedia show, which we will see on June 19 in Radom, we will also hear elements of this album - said Witkowski.

Interesting how the publicity around this concert is really pushing the link to the 1976 protests. This is more than a coincidence. It is quite significant to the city and to the promoter.

Dare I say it was the highlight of that trip. The concert was... kind of a chore TBH and mostly fueled by FOMO. And I'm kind of looking at this one similarly, although being more financially stable than last year at least I have less hesitation. I wish we knew what the show will feature.

By the way the train from Radom at 00:37 that goes through Warsaw actually goes to Gdańsk - I guess I could repeat that "a seashore walk after a JMJ concert on the exact same Saturday of June" routine ;) (although the train arrives at 5:58, not 3:00)
Fast forward thirteen years and my daughter, now aged 15 was standing alongside me at the Bratislava concert. We appear together in the photobook. Afterwards, we walked back – with you Jote! – over the UFO bridge that started to bounce under the huge crowds of people. Happy memories.
Ah yes, Bratislava... After our afterparty ended I had the "pleasure" of wandering through the streets and along Danube for an hour waiting for my bus back to Vienna. Then around 5 am, half-asleep, catching a night bus to Karlsplatz, where I had to change to another one to drive to my place - and through some sheer luck I managed even though the former bus was delayed and I had some 30 seconds to find the other one :)
Isn’t life great?
Perhaps not as a whole ;) but those morning dream-like experiences in strange places sure are.

This says that the Summer Tour 2026 begins with THIS particular show, so... can't even sample the show before making a decision. I guess no more earlier dates are coming at this point, as it's just 3 months before the show.

Radom ticket sale just opened. The prices are... ridiculous? Ranging from €60 (faaaar back) to €150 (stage). In Radom. Good luck I guess, I'm out :)

Is it a sports stadium in Radom? I mean, are we talking like a crowd of 50,000 if it's full? And just JMJ, not a line-up of other artists too? That's ambitous, to try and sell out such a large venue.

All the cheapest tickets, which are the farthest from the stage, have already been sold out. Most of the tickets in the sections directly facing the stage are also gone. A significant number of VIP tickets (on the left side of the stands) priced at €370 have been sold as well.

This event is solely a concert by Jarre. It is not part of any festival. There has been an announcement of a single supporting act scheduled before his performance, but it seems that most people don’t really recognize who it is. Clearly, people are willing to pay any price, so from the organizer's perspective, there's no point in offering cheaper tickets.

I believe only half of them were made available so far (I think every other row was grayed out). Some sections were also not available at all IIRC. Maybe it's a staggered release - what better way to trigger FOMO?

You’re right, I didn’t think about that. Typical tricks from organizers.
