To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the seminal album, Oxygene, Jean Michel Jarre will perform the entire 'masterpiece' at the Sportaréna (starting 8pm), with the help of three musicians and using the original mythical instruments; more than fifty legendary analogue synthesizers.

In 1977 French composer and pioneer of electronic music, Jean Michel Jarre achieved worldwide fame with an album that seduced both music fans and critics across the globe. Oxygene was not only a timeless masterpiece, but its visionary cover image focussed attention on global environmental problems, long before the environment became a mainstream issue.

Oxygene is a milestone album in electronic music, recorded with cutting edge instruments, many of which can now only be purchased second hand. Jarre's approach was groundbreaking, paving the way for today's generation of electronic musicians.

Jarre who usually performs to millions with spectacular outdoor shows, at historic locations around the world, has chosen to perform the complete score of Oxygene in a more intimate setting. This concert will be a rare moment in his career.
