ADE was sold out fast enough. And Bratislava showed the audience is still there.

As a concert organizer, it could be really fine to negotiate and book artists and bands for the future, e.g. next year, with this economic backgroung going on, with oil shortage, etc....

In Bratislava there were allegedly 100 000 people, but it's hard to verify that. I think that for paid concerts, Jarre can expect a maximum of 10 to 15 thousand spectators, depending on the country and city.

Do you think JMJ will fill a football stadium? The last time he pulled such a large crowd for a paid-for outdoor show (not a free show) was Europe In Concert, if I am not mistaken, and that was over 30 years ago.

At the Gdańsk shipyard there were 170,000 people. And it wasn't free.

Two decades ago Jarre was much more popular. I think that today it wouldn't be possible anymore.

[Dr_Jones]

Let's not forget he played for a whole stadium 2 years ago



But seriously: I do agree with you, but I also think JMJ has entered this "legendary" phase where he's regarded as an important person for a younger generation. You can see this reflected in articles and promotion. Festivals like Glastonbury have a Legendary slot for these kinds of acts. If promotors bank on that, you can rail in a lot of people.

Jarre hasn't performed at any major well-known global festival since Coachella. Today he has a good product in the form of a new mobile stage and collaboration with Kvant, so a big festival could take advantage of this. Perhaps negotiations for performances next year are already underway.
Glastonbury would definitely give him a significant boost in popularity. However, such festivals generally prefer singers over instrumental music, unless it's an electronic music festival, like Ozora.

I guess they have a timetable - more or less - ready for '27, regarding dates of the tour....just it's still time to cover them up.

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

So... You'll never guess what happened - the far sectors and the cheapest (158 PLN) tickets are available again. From the same vendor.

How could this happen?
Obviously they want to create FOMO.

The concert by Jean-Michel Jarre in Valencia scheduled for 8 July at the City of Arts and Sciences has changed location and will now take place at Marina Norte, which will become the main venue of the festival.

It's being said how the aviation is affected on reducing volume of fuel. Hope it really won't affect on any level the tour as the team gonne use air transport too...
