A Laser Harp…keytar…synths upon synths….Southern California’s desert sky will be lit up this spring like never before when prolific and celebrated electronic music pioneer JEAN-MICHEL JARRE will return to the United States this year to perform his critically acclaimed ‘Electronica’ show at both weekends of Coachella this April (Friday 4/13 and Friday 4/20). In 2017, JARRE brought his ‘Electronica’ world tour to North America for a nine-date outing, marking the first time the Grammy-nominated artist and French electronic music composer and producer ever toured this side of the Atlantic Ocean in his almost 50-year career. Newsweek‘s Jeff Perlah noted that “At Radio City Music Hall [in New York], Jarre’s show was sonically and visually stunning (5/24/17).Coachella marks his debut festival play on North American shores.
Surrounding the festival, JARRE will embark on a short tour visiting such cities as Dallas, Vancouver and Seattle. He’ll also return to Houston on April 10, where he last appeared back in 1986 performing a one-off city-scale concert celebrating NASA’s 25th Anniversary.
