Four years after its last visit, English alternative rock group will perform at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv on July 30.
That same day they will perform in the evening at the Ra'anana Amphi Park.
McFerrin and Corea are being brought to Israel by the Zappa Group. Ticket prices will range from NIS 299 to NIS 599 (about $77-155), depending on the seat's location.
Bobby McFerrin is best known for his 1988 hit song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." The 65-year-old musician's work is influenced by jazz and he is considered a virtuoso vocalist. His trademark is his singing which ranges between low and high notes, as well as his ability to produce vocal effects. McFerrin last visited Israel in 2012.
The American Chick Corea, born Armando Anthony, is a virtuoso jazz pianist himself. He has won more than 20 Grammy awards and is one of the most critically acclaimed composers in the world today. His genres include jazz fusion, Latin jazz, classical music, avant-garde jazz and progressive rock.
Chick Corea has visited Israel several times. He was scheduled to perform in the country last summer alongside jazz musician Stanley Clarke, but the concert was canceled due to the Israeli operation in Gaza.
