French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre has announced a series of summer concerts throughout Europe for June and July. This will be Jarre's first official tour since 2016 and his first live performance since he headlined the Paris 2024 Olympic Games closing ceremony last September. The shows will take place in some of Europe's most stunning settings - from ancient amphitheatres such as the Arena Pula in Croatia and Anfiteatro Degli Scavi in Pompeii to the iconic Piazza San Marco in Venice, along with royal palaces such as the Royal Palace of Brussels, state-of-the-art arenas and open-air festivals, and will feature highlights from Jarre's 50-year catalogue alongside newer compositions and reimagined classics. "I'm delighted to return to the stage and share this new live experience with fans across Europe," says Jarre. "Each venue on this tour offers a unique atmosphere and energy - they are all perfect settings to bring my music to life." Jarre recently attended the opening of Amazônia in Brussels, an exhibition by renowned French-Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, for which he composed the evocative original soundtrack. He is also presenting Oxyville at the official Venice Architecture Biennale, which takes place from May 10 to November 23, an electronic musical creation designed with 360° spatial sound, exploring the connection between 3D sound and architectural space.

Jean-Michel Jarre to release Live In Bratislava in September
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. French keyboard wizard Jean-Michel Jarre has announced that he will release a new live album, Live In Bratislava, through Sony Music Enetertainment on September 5. It's a recoding of his historic open-air Bridge From The Future concert, performed on May 12, 2024 in Slovakia, along the banks of the Danube, to over 100,000 people, where he was joined by Queen guitarist Brian May. The full 22-track performance is available across a range of deluxe formats, including an unseen Director's Cut of the concert film, remastered audio, exclusive vinyl, and a 40-page coffee table photo book documenting this once-in-a-lifetime production. 'Since that very special night in Bratislava, we've worked with a brilliant creative team to bring together the most complete, cinematic version of the concert possible," Jarre says. "The sound on this release comes from the live TV broadcast of the concert, capturing the raw, in-the-moment energy of the performance. I'm proud to finally share this with everyone. Not only those who joined us in Slovakia or watched online, but all who want to relive the experience." It was Jarre's first ever collaboration with Brian May, who joined him on stage for a new arrangement of Dvořák's New World Symphony as well as newly adapted works Bratislava Time and Rendez-vous Bratislava. Live In Bratislava will be released as a 2 CD set, a Blu-ray featuring the unseen Director's Cut and the Ultimate Colector's Box, which features the 2 x CD, Blu-ray and a 10" blue vinyl featuring the unreleased track Bridge From The Future, performed as the audience arrived, as well as a deluxe 40-page coffee table photo book with behind-the-scenes and performance images. Jarre recently announced his very first European tour for nine years for June and July 2026. Pre-order Live In Bratislava.
