Jean-Michel Jarre is preparing to return to Italy for an event eagerly awaited by electronic music enthusiasts. The famous French artist will perform on July 5 at the Amphitheater of the Pompeii Excavations, as part of the second edition of “BOP – Beats of Pompeii”.
A historical setting for a unique musical experience
The festival is organized by Peppe Gomez for Blackstar Concerti, with the support of the Municipality of Pompeii, the Archaeological Park, the Ministry of Culture and the Region. “BOP – Beats of Pompeii” includes ten concerts that aim to combine art, history and music, creating an evocative and engaging context. The organizers describe the event as one of the most anticipated of the year, thanks to the combination of historical charm and musical innovation.

Jean-Michel Jarre is a very well known artist in the music world, but I don't know if I'll be able to go. The events in Pompeii are always very crowded and I don't know if there will be tickets available.
