according to this Euronews item:

I don't really believe that, but if it's true, truly impressive. I'll get some newspapers tomorrow and see if there's any confirmed numbers there.

Audience recording Stardust and Time Machine.



From 2min50seconds Fireworks making me cry.
I never thought JMJ would be able to do such concerts once more given how the world is.

Bridge From The Future
Year 2024
Date May 12th
Location Bratislava, Slovakia
Audience 100.000+
Jean-Michel Jarre, with special guest Sir Brian May, launched the seventh STARMUS Festival with a spectacular concert, "Bridge from the Future," in Bratislava. Set against the backdrop of the iconic SNP Bridge, Jarre, a pioneer in electronic music and large-scale outdoor events, unveiled a futuristic staging installation featuring synchronized architectural lighting, lasers, a 400-drone ballet, and fireworks.
The concert, which included 19 works spanning Jarre's career, also featured a new arrangement of Antonín Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’, marking a historic collaboration between Jarre and May. The performance incorporated elements of Slovakian culture with the participation of the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.

You know nobody on earth been able to put together outdoor city concert performances as JMJ.
From Houston to Bratislava.
Brings tears to my eyes.

It's so easy to take JMJ for granted.

Whichever way we can make our way to JMJ's outdoor city concerts we never know how long JMJ will be on earth.

Brian May is right the genius Jean Paul Jarre.

"Bright Bratislava"

A play on words, "žiar" would sound very much like "jarre"

Cartoon in the SME newspaper
"What is that?"
"Something beautiful"

At least, that's what Google translate tells me.
