A Unique Event
Everything about Jean Michel Jarre’s concert-events is out of the ordinary, whether in challenge, location or scale. When the French musician chose the Sahara desert for a spectacular concert to bring attention to the UNESCO’s Water for Life campaign, it was not so much of a surprise….

Fully Authorised Publication
With the kind authorisation of Jarre’s management, this authorised book traces the making of the concert at the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in Morocco from project conception through to the stunning concert night itself.

Direct from the Archives
Produced from within the heart of this Sahara adventure, the concert and behind-the-scenes photographs and projection stills are hand-picked from the concert production archive.
