I am curious what answer people on this message board will give to this question:


Q : Will a Jean-Michel Jarre "City In Concert" ever happen again?
A : On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is NEVER and 10 is CERTAINLY - and please explain your thinking!


With issues such as costs, security, the pandemic, the threat of terrorism and other complications making big outdoor events perhaps more difficult, maybe we will never see the likes of Houston and Paris La Défense again. Then again, in a digital age, people perhaps crave real-world, in-person, organic events more than ever and would flock to a large-scale communal happening like a city in concert.

With JMJ more and more interested in VR and the metaverse, has he lost interest? Or do you think he longs for one more big night out somewhere?

Reply to this thread with a number between 1 and 10 and your thoughts!

5. I think The Green Concert in Riyadh was pretty grand scale. I actually didn't expect it to be that large, it being part of the Electronica tour. But it was large and had laser-projections on the buildings surrounding the venue. I don't expect him to do a one-off like Houston or La Defense anymore, mainly because the man is 73 years old now.

Counterpoint.... when you are 73 years old a one-off is probably easier than a multi-date tour!
