With the pandemic circulating around the world, we weren't sure if we could fully celebrate the return of summer. Despite the health measures taken by the government, we give you the good plans to enjoy this musical and sunny festival as it should be.
Jean-Michel Jarre live in virtual reality
There is a real difference with other online concerts like Travis Scott's on Fortnite last April. The virtual universe will allow the musician to find " the avatars of the spectators in total immersion". He explained to AFP:
"Everything that was done now, like with Fortnite, was pre-recorded, in a pre-existing universe. There, it's total immersion, in a space created and live. Like in The Matrix. The concert will last 45 minutes, and there is an interaction with the audience. It's up to us, artists, to propose new things,"
An immersive concert for people with a virtual reality headset, since it will be possible to visit his recording studio. For people who don't have one, don't panic! It will be possible to follow the concert on YouTube and Facebook of Jean-Michel Jarre.
Ricard Live Music
To celebrate Music, you don't have to go far. As we see for the concert of Jean-Michel Jarre many concerts are available online. A contest organized by the Société Ricard Live Music allowed you to win a home concert. There are 3 artists: Suzane, Julien Granel and Myd. The competition has been closed since June 12. However, the concert will be visible on the social networks of Société Ricard Live Musique as well as those of the artists of the concert.
