To commemorate three decades of innovation and cultural impact, ADE has invited electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre as special guest of honour in this defining year, for a standout Opening Concert at AFAS Live on October 21st, an exclusive keynote interview at ADE Pro, and other appearances.<\/p>\n

This pioneering masterwork is recognized as a lasting artistic experiment that has stood the test of time, influencing generations of artists who have found their home at ADE over the past three decades.<\/p>\n

\"ADEADE 2026 invites Jean-Michel Jarre as guest of honour<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Jean-Michel Jarre had to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cElectronic 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 Oxyg\u00e8ne. <\/p>\n

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 \u2013 This is the reason I\u2019m so happy to be part of this celebration in 2026.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond the live concert, Jarre\u2019s involvement in ADE 2026 bridges the origins and future of electronic music at ADE Pro with an exclusive keynote interview, alongside more surprises. From early studio experimentation to concerts that transformed entire cityscapes into shared listening spaces, his influence runs through half a century of the culture.<\/p>\n

As an artist who has always placed technology, light, and sound at the core of his work, Jarre is set to engage with the ADE<\/a> community throughout the event\u2019s program tracks. More details are soon to follow.<\/p>\n
