Coming soon in Israel: Alt-J and Milky Chance will participate in a new festival | Israel today

Not hot enough for you?

Because the summer is going to be even hotter:

Alt-J, Milky Chance, Jungle and Freddie Gibbs will arrive in Israel as part of a new music festival, "Shuga", which will combine artists from several genres and will take place at Live Park Rishon Lezion on August 17 .

Alongside them will also be Israeli musicians Jasmine Mualem, Eco, Jay Lamota and Atar Meiner.

The Live Nation company, which produces the festival, hopes that "Shuga" will begin a new annual tradition in which a number of artists will perform in Israel in each edition of the festival.

Tickets on sale in advance will cost NIS 295 for a ticket to the grass and NIS 455 for a ticket to the Golden Ring.

The British Alt-J will arrive in Israel for the third time, having already performed here in 2015 and 2018.

This will be an exciting celebration for the alternative band, as they are celebrating a decade since the release of their wonderful debut album "An Awesome Wave" and also the release of their latest album, "The Dream", which came into the world last February.

Other Brits who will come to Israel are the British duo Jungle, who combine funk, electronics and soul.

In Israel, they are best known for their huge hit "Busy Earnin '", which since its release in 2014 has been burning the radio non-stop and has become a real classic.

Last August they released their third album, "Loving In Stereo".

As mentioned, Milky Chance will also come to Israel - and will be very surprised if they do not perform their hit "Stolen Dance", which has almost a billion listens on Spotify.

Last year they surprisingly released a mixtape called "Trip Tape" which received very flattering reviews.

Another name to attend the festival is American rapper Freddie Gibbs, who is celebrating his 39th birthday right now.

Among the members of the new generation of rappers who perform gangsta rap, Gibbs is one of the rising names in the field - and even received a Grammy nomination last year for his album "Freddie".

There is still no official release date for his next album, which is expected to be called "Soul Sold Separately", but it is expected to be released over the next few months.

During the festival, local names will also appear, such as Jasmine Mualem (who will host Atar Meiner), rapper Eco and also Jay.

To Motta, she is Rotem Aljem Assulin.
