Ninet Taib, Ehud Banai, Maor Cohen, Boom Pam and Tomer Yosef are among the names that will appear in the 2023 edition of Indengev, the southern alternative music festival. The event will take place for the 16th year as usual at Mitzpe Borders, the pioneer of settlement in the Negev, from October 12-14. The price of a ticket for the three days of the festival (which is actually the ticket currently offered, since ticket sales opened even before the announcement of the participants) will be 450 NIS, and a ticket for children and toddlers will cost 90 and 30 NIS, respectively.

As usual, Indengev will also include interesting encounters on stage – some as part of new ensembles (for example, a back line with Ehud Banai) and others as part of special collaborations, such as the one between Boom Pam and Maor Cohen and Tomer Yosef; Izabo Band and Tamir Bar; Maor Cohen and Kutiman; Red Access and DJ Mesh and more. Other names that make up this year's lineup are Maayan Linik, Ofek Adnek, Tamar Afek, Tabranek, Zukush and many more – some of which will be announced later.

To date, Indengev is considered a veteran of festivals in Israel. The event, which was born as a kind of small underground organization that focused on providing a stage for local fringe artists and ensembles, has become a mecca for many music lovers over the past decade and a half, as well as an event that also combines mainstream artists and international ensembles. The encounter between veteran musicians and lesser-known musicians creates one of the most effective mixes in the Israeli festival scene, and every year it is possible to identify the significant voices emerging in music in Israel. It contains five stages and, alongside music, offers a variety of cultural and artistic activities.

For three days and two nights, talks, meetings, lectures, acoustic performances and film screenings will take place in the desert complex. This is in addition to children's areas, camping and chill-out, as well as displays of artwork and interactive exhibits. The production of the event is entrusted to Indigigas and Shuki Weiss.
