Jean-Michel Jarre

On July 13, 2026, Jean-Michel Jarre arrives at the Starlite Festival – Auditorio Marbella. A landmark figure in electronic music since the seventies after his time with Pierre Schaeffer’s Groupe de Recherches Musicales, Jarre turned synthetic layers and repetitive motifs into a distinctive language that takes on a different scale in concert.

In performance, his music unfolds between floating atmospheres and minimal pulses, with clear melodies and a visual accompaniment that supports the sonic narrative. The repertoire typically links pieces from Oxygène, Équinoxe or Les Chants Magnétiques with phases such as Zoolook, Rendez-Vous or Chronologie, making room for that borderland between instrumental pop and dance electronic music he has explored.

Since the 2000s, beginning with Métamorphoses and the two volumes of Electronica, Jarre has multiplied collaborations and reinforced an immersive approach: multichannel formats, spatialization and digital resources that he transfers to the live setting. In Marbella he presents a set that looks both backward and forward—melodic, cinematic electronics backed by projections and lighting effects—designed to be experienced up close and through the image.
