The French composer and producer has announced an exclusive live performance at Amnesia on Sunday, July 5th — his first ever show on the island. The date falls during Amnesia’s 50th anniversary year and is billed as an Ibiza exclusive, making it one of the more unexpected and significant live announcements to come out of the island’s summer calendar in some time. For an artist whose career has been defined by scale — past performances have taken place at the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Tiananmen Square, Pompeii, Masada, and the Sahara Desert, often in front of audiences numbering in the millions — the booking represents a deliberately intimate setting.

No past, no future, just the intensity of the moment,” Jarre said. “That space of freedom is where my music has always lived. I’m thrilled to do my very first Ibiza concert at Amnesia to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the club.” It is a striking choice of words from an artist who has spent over five decades at the frontier of electronic music. Jarre has released 22 studio albums and sold over 85 million records worldwide, and has long been a pioneer in multi-channel audio, VR, and the metaverse. The show arrives at a meaningful moment for Amnesia, which is marking its 50th anniversary this summer with a season of programming designed to reflect the club’s place in dance music history. Securing Jarre for his island debut fits squarely into that ambition. Support on the night comes from Berlin-based artist Joplyn, who performs live. Blending ethereal vocals with cinematic electronic production, her set will open the evening before Jarre takes the Terrace. Les Schmitz — an Amnesia resident since 2003 and a figure deeply woven into the club’s culture — will also play a DJ set, guiding the crowd into the night ahead of the headline performance.
