a NEW YEAR’S EVE CONCERT-SPECTACULAR in virtual NOTRE-DAME

New Year’s Eve – DECEMBER 31, 2020 – 23h25 CET/Paris-time.

08th December 2020 - In partnership with the City of Paris, and under the patronage of UNESCO, Electronic Music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre teams with French VR start-up VRrOOm to take us into the New Year with a Live-stream trailblazing concert-spectacular set in the virtual environment of the planetary landmark, Notre-Dame de Paris.

"Welcome to the Other Side" is a one-off exclusive, worldwide and open-to-all, free concert experience whose ambition, beyond celebrating the New Year in a futuristic and festive way, is to send a message of hope for 2021: a digital and virtual invitation from Paris, the City of Light, vibrant metropole of the Arts & of Culture and home to the most famous cathedral in the world. Notre-Dame has a unique place in the collective imagination, it is a symbol of the strength and of World Heritage that binds us together.

Jarre’s virtual concert-spectacular invites us all to ring-in the New Year together and social virtual reality gives the possibility to party together, wherever we are, including all who are socially or geographically isolated.

The Live-stream experience on December 31, will be produced as a cutting-edge simultaneously-mixed-media creation: welcome to other side of reality, welcome into the New Year, welcome to your own personal celebration, welcome to a global party, all via your own chosen dimension:

- In total immersion on the social VR platform VRchat, accessible either simply via PC, or in virtual reality for the audience equipped with VR headsets,
- Live-streaming on Jarre’s & other social media platforms via any PC or Mac, smartphone or tablet,
- Live audio broadcast on Radio France’s France Inter, French public radio,
- Live TV broadcast by French BFM Paris news channel.

Jean-Michel Jarre will perform live from a studio near the Cathedral in Paris, whilst his avatar plays inside a virtual Notre-Dame.

The 45-minute concert that Jarre will perform will be comprised of tracks from his recent Grammy-nominated opus Electronica, as well as new reworked versions of his classics, Oxygène and Equinoxe.

The audio of the concert will be released on 01.01.2021 0:15am CET on all music streaming platforms under the title “Welcome to the Other Side – LIVE”.

Jarre, whose legendary concert-spectaculars have broken world records in attendees and took place at some of the globe’s most renowned landmarks throughout his outstanding career, have left their imprint on world-class entertainment. "Welcome to the Other Side" is an invitation to enter the other side of the mirror and to travel from the physical concert world into a virtual fantasy world.

Jarre’s visionary creativity in partnership with VRrOOm’s VR designers come together here to create a concert-spectacular that is nothing short of his benchmark outdoor performances and above all a milestone today in setting new standards for music entertainment tomorrow.

"Virtual reality is to the performing arts today what cinema was to the theatre in its early days, a kind of curiosity. I believe that VR will become tomorrow, a mode of expression in its own right. » Jean-Michel Jarre
