The last couple of days some details about the concerts in this year's tour have come out:

* Two concerts next month (Liege and Strasbourg) will be filmed in HD-3D with the same Panasonic camera technique that was used for James Cameron's Avatar.
* The result will result in a DVD in 2D and 3D release later this year, and cinema screening in some countries.
* In a comment Jarre said: "3D is an equally important revolution as when technologie went from monochrome to color. "
* The Rumanian concert promoter says there will be used pyrotechnics, a large display / canvas for projections and laser.
* Three buses and four semi-trailers needed to transport all the equipment.

 

Latest news about the next album and new music:

* Jarre wants to release the album at the end of 2010
* Jarre will probably be performing all the new songs during the shows
* The songs will be put directly on the new album, if the audience respond positively

This week Jarre is rehersing in a TV studio in Belgium. It is less than a week before the first concert (which is sold out). 6 of the concerts in Germany and France are completely or almost sold out as of today, including Jarre's hometown Lyon.
