In addition to the popular and returning Arad Festival and Hatamar Festival, which both host a slew of famous artists and draw large audiences, this year new types of indie music and alternative rock festivals will take place in Kibbutz Parod, Haifa, and in the indie capital of Israel, Tel Aviv.

 

The largest festival will be held during the Sukkot holiday at the Tzavta Theater in Tel Aviv from October 1 to October 3. The festival, titled "Helem Krach" (City Shock), will include special performances such as a tribute to Berry Sakharof 's "Signs of Weakness" in which various artists will perform songs from the album.
