Singing Peace Opening Concert - A Festival Exclusive

It’s been almost 45 years since the first “Israeli Woodstock” festival in Neviot Holiday Village. Back then, it was a three day festival. Three days of concerts and freedom, on the beautiful backdrop of the golden sands of Sinai.

30,000 people made their way through the scenery of the Sinai Peninsula to the Holiday Village.

Now, years later, the Singing Peace Festival will kick off with a musical journey that will begin with the first Pop Festival in Nuweiba and end with the third festival. It will tell the story of the period through music, performed every night on a breathtaking central stage shaped by thousands of years of nature, on the reddish sands of the main stage, with the magnificent backdrop of King Solomon’s Pillars.

Participants (in alphabetical order): Ariel Zilber, Berry Sakharof, Carolina, David Broza, Dory Ben Ze’ev, Ester Rada, Guy Mezig, Rona Keinan, Shlomi Shaban and Yoni Rechter.
