The series of concerts was first announced on 30 September 2018, two days after the release of Farmer's eleventh studio album, Désobéissance.[3] Initially, six dates were announced;[3] on 14 October, two new dates were added,[4] and on 14 February 2018, a final date was added,[5] bringing the total number of concerts to nine. Farmer and long-time collaborator Laurent Boutonnat served as creative directors, while Boutonnat directed the show.[6]
The concerts were divided into five sections and an encore, and was heavily influenced by cyberpunk aesthetics, especially the film Blade Runner.[7] The concert series received universal critical acclaim, with critics complimenting the stage, the artistic direction, the set list and Farmer's vocals. The residency was also successful commercially, selling 120,000 tickets on the first day; ultimately, the nine shows were attended by 235,000 spectators.[8]
An accompanying live album, Live 2019 was released on 18 October 2019, while a concert film, featuring footage shot during all nine dates, was released on 6 December 2019 as Live 2019 - Le Film.
