The Jean-Michel Jarre concert, scheduled for July 8, is moving from the City of Arts and Sciences to Marina Norte in Valencia, becoming the first event affected by the ruling limiting noise in the area.

This change of location comes after a court ruling that mandates limiting noise from musical performances in the City of Arts. Marina Norte will now serve as the main venue for the concert series.
The organizers have confirmed that the concert date and time remain unchanged, and all purchased tickets are still valid for the new location. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by residents of two buildings near the City of Arts, who claimed their fundamental right to privacy and moral integrity was violated by event noise.

Jean-Michel Jarre is an absolute pioneer of electronic music and a global cultural icon, known for his large-scale audiovisual shows and a career marked by constant artistic innovation.

The promoters of FAR València 2026 emphasize that Jarre's live performances are immersive experiences where music, technology, and architecture interact, making his presence a unique event.
The FAR València lineup also includes other major international and national names such as Rubén Blades, ZZ Top, Rick Astley, Luz Casal, Elvis Crespo, and OMD. There will also be cult acts like Belle & Sebastian, Babasonicos, MEUTE, and Rinôçérôse, alongside unique voices such as LP, Silvana Estrada, Marta Santos, and Judith Hill.
Additionally, artists connecting with new audiences like Young Miko, Judeline, Depresión Sonora, and El Mato a un Policía Motorizado are included, along with acts with strong stage identities such as Rodrigo Cuevas, Xoel López, and Antoñito Molina, and the festive energy of Gipsy Kings and M-Clan, completing a diverse program across genres and generations.
