https://www.nu.nl/muziek/6388615/elektr ... t-ade.html

It will be the openingsconcert for the Amsterdan Dance Event, which will be held 21 october to 25 october. The concert will be in the AFAS arena. The exact date and price is unknown yet... Ticket sales will start on friday, 13 march.

[edit] I assumed this was an Oxygene anniversary concert, but it looks like a one off or maybe even part of the 2026 Tour.

Amsterdam Dance Event announces Jean-Michel Jarre as guest of honour for 30th anniversary

Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has announced electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre as guest of honour for its 30th anniversary.

Jarre, who this year celebrates the 50th anniversary of his landmark debut album, Oxygène, will perform an opening set at AFAS Live on October 21 and take part in an exclusive keynote interview at ADE Pro.

This year’s ADE runs from October 21-25 at multiple venues across Amsterdam.

The festival, conference and business platform dedicated to electronic music features more than 3,300 artists throughout over 1,200 events in more than 200 venues. The five-day event has dedicated conference programming, an extensive arts and culture programme, and live music and DJ/artist performances.

Electronic music, as well as ADE, has a history, a legacy and a future… I’m so happy to be part of this celebration in 2026”

Jarre said: “Electronic music, as well as ADE, has a history, a legacy and a future.”

The live show at ADE is going to celebrate its 30th anniversary, but also the 50th anniversary of Oxygène. I have the ambition to keep the suspense and go from one track to another, into a different atmosphere, different stage design, mapping, giant projections and architectures of lights and videos, to share that moment that can stay in your heart and your brain for the rest of your lives. This is the reason I’m so happy to be part of this celebration in 2026.”

Don't know where the poster is coming from, the link on the poster doesn't exist, so I guess they are still working on it.

For general info, this Wikipedia entry has seen a lot of updates since I last looked. Now includes details like the date Jarre and Granger met, and the fact the artwork was already called Oxygene and that Jarre named the album after the artwork, not the other way around. This was a detail in the history of Oxygene I was always interested in finding out more about.

There will also be an interview with him with audience, much like he did in 2018.

Maybe this is going to be a warm-up show in Amsterdam, for '27 Oxygene tour.

Aero Productions, anyway, released a newsletter, about this very event also the other 2026 dates. I emailed them it's Jazz Open Modena this year, not Stuttgart.....
