Release Athens Festival x SNF Nostos 2026: Jean-Michel Jarre

One of the most influential figures in electronic music arrives in Athens for a special open air show at the SNFCC Great Lawn, as part of Release Athens and the SNF Nostos Festival. Jean-Michel Jarre’s live performances are known for going beyond music, combining electronic soundscapes with light, lasers and large scale visuals that turn the concert into a fully immersive experience. If you are visiting the city in late June, this is a chance to see Athens host a global music icon in a setting made for summer nights.

The show brings together highlights from Jarre’s long and constantly evolving career, reflecting his impact across decades and genres. His music continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, while his live productions remain carefully designed spectacles that feel contemporary, ambitious and inclusive. Whether you know his work well or are encountering it for the first time, the experience is designed to draw you in and keep you there.

While Jean-Michel Jarre is a highlight in his own right, Release Athens brings together a wider programme of major international acts throughout the summer. It is also worth exploring the full SNF Nostos Festival programme, which combines music, culture and outdoor events across multiple days at the SNFCC.
