The legendary French electro pop composer Jean Michel Jarre has been confirmed for two concerts at the National Concert Hall in Dublin in March

The concerts – his first ever in Ireland – have been lined up as part of an intimate European tour to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the seminal album, Oxygene. The gigs, which take place on Tuesday March 18 and Wednesday March 19 are being promoted by Raglane Entertainment.

The French composer will be performing the entire Oxygene masterpiece at the concerts, with the help of three musicians, and using more than fifty of his legendary analogue synthesizers.

Tickets, which are €85 and €80, go on sale from the NCH box office only, from 10am on Friday, January 25th. His only London date, at the Albert Hall on March 30, sold out in a few hours.


With thanks to SoF for the heads up.

:sad2:, not the Dublin one.

I am pulling my hair out though for the Birmingham :shock: one. Birmingham is closer than London to me where I live. :screams: If the Symphony Hall, Birmingham was announced with tickets available before the Royal Albert Hall, London, then I would have gone to the Symphony Hall in Birmingham. Where am a I going to find the money? :? :sad:

Any chance of donating money towards the JMJKanta charity? Any chance of winning the lottery NOW? :fine:
