Jean-Michel Jarre to play anti-Donald Trump Dead Sea concert

French musician to perform in front of ancient Masada fortress to draw attention to urgency of saving planet Earth

Pioneering electronic musician Jean-Michel Jarre has said he wants to use an all-night concert at the Dead Sea to highlight what he sees as the anti-environmental policies of Donald Trump.

The French musician, who shot to fame in the 1970s, will perform in front of the ancient Masada fortress in Israel on Thursday in a bid to draw attention to the "urgency of saving the Dead Sea", he told AFP.
