Jean-Michel Jarre is not just a pioneering musician; he is the visionary who brought progressive music to the mainstream and paved the way for synth pop, new age, and trance. In 1976, he became world famous with Oxygène, an impressive synth odyssey recorded at his home, which sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Fifty years later, with 22 studio albums and over 85 million sales under his belt, he continues to innovate, recently captivating over 120,000 spectators in Bratislava with his open-air concert-event Bridge From The Future and thrilling the crowd at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.
His concerts are spectacles that exceed all expectations, combining sound, laser shows and mesmerizing visual effects. He has broken the world record for audience attendance many times, gathering 1 million spectators at Place de la Concorde, 1.3 million in Houston, 2.5 million at La Défense, and 3.5 million in Moscow. He was also the first Western artist invited to perform in the People’s Republic of China, on a tour captured on his famous 1981 live album The Concerts In China, and has also appeared in iconic locations such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Sahara Desert, the Forbidden City, the Dead Sea, and the Eiffel Tower.
