And they don't even offer fixed seats!
Originally I chose a place in the middle of the grandstand and I'm pretty annoyed by the way they handle this. Anyone else who received such an e-mail?

I am really sorry to read this - that's a poor show from the organisers. Not on at all I am not seeing JMJ this summer, I had decided the ’26 summer show is too similar to his 2025 Special Summer Tour, and I saw that in Brussels. Instead I have tickets for ADE in October when I am hoping to see/hear something a little different.

I'm in contact with the promoter. They want to send me some new tickets. We'll see what happens.

Amazing footage. How did this get filmed? Was this JMJ approved or a sneaky bit of secret spying?

Another KVANT video, I really like what they're doing with these "tour updates".

Back from Toulouse, what a concert, great sound, great crowd, lots of energy, everything just clicked to make it an amazing experience. The semi-open air setup was interesting, got a place quite near the front which put me right into the visual experience. The sound system was also exquisite, one of the best I’ve heard at any concert/festival. It’s interesting to see how the tour has evolved from last year. Loved “the opening” as it’s a personal favourite, and visually it’s a full-on assault on the senses, great way to open the show. I really got all absorbed into the concert, probably also thanks to the energetic crowd all around. I also really enjoyed the second part of exit, with Jean-Michel almost diabolically getting the energy/flow back up again, can’t remember if it was like that last year, but it “worked” much better this time, as it put a new spin on a track we’ve heard a lot before . Overall it seemed the show has been honed so that it flows really nicely. I do wonder if this concept is going to change a lot for the upcoming tour, I was thinking it would, but with quite some Oxygene Anniversary publicity speak seeping into this tour, I’m not so sure anymore. I guess ADE will be the first test (but can’t get to that one, so I’ll have to wait ). Anyway, it was a blast getting to see Jarre live for the third year in a row. If you’re going to Modena, have fun !

Newsitem on Modena concert:

I was at the Modena concert. Fantastic setting. Sound and visuals were amazing.
JMJ paid homage to some famous Italians, from Luigi Russolo 'L'arte dei rumori' and up to Federico Fellini.
Said Oxygene 2 glasses camera was so you could see him working in his kitchen .. "like making a pizza!"!!

Modena full concert, part 1... which is an oxymoron


And part 2. I like the guy's youtube icon btw.

Modena was really great. A beautiful setting, with a building to the right of the audience which was lit up as part of the show. Great visuals, impressive light and laser show. The sound was perfect, other fans I spoke to, thought the same. The show was straight forward, hardly any breaks between the tracks. So it was rather short, around 95 minutes. Jarre was jumping and dancing on stage and it was really, really hot and humid!
