Shaking the Desert
A night of five(!) performances on a single ticket, representing the craziest and most interesting musical mix of Israel in 2026. An unbridled combination of an eternal stadium-rock energy wall in the style of the world's biggest bands, alongside the leading, freshest acts and creators of the moment.
Jumbo Jay:
Jumbo (Omer Habron) is the essence of Israeli identity, and the figure most easily seen when imagining the spirit of this year’s Tamar Festival. His love for the Hebrew language, humor combined with directness, boldness, and a deep sense of belonging to his country and the Emet region he comes from, bring to the forefront issues that concern us all, along with one of the most important albums of the period, "Kol Tov" ("Everything Is Good"). Alongside the band that has accompanied him for four albums, he will shake up the desert with an excellent performance of rap, rock, and new Mediterranean music, featuring hits: "Asiti," "Setelbet be-Kibbutz" ("Chilling at the Kibbutz"), "Hatulim" ("Cats"), and "Ba-Makom she-Ani Gar" ("Where I Live").
Liran Danino:
After a year of hard work in the studio, Liran Danino returns to the stages with a new, powerful, and unforgettable band performance. The show will feature virtuoso performances with surprising new arrangements of all his major hits over the years, alongside the debut of his new songs from the upcoming album, in an emotional and festive meeting with the audience under the open sky.
The Jews (HaYehudim):
One of Israel's most successful and leading rock bands, which has placed itself at the pinnacle of local culture with five studio albums and two live albums achieving gold and platinum status. For this evening, they bring the ultimate 'Sound Wall' and stadium energy. With a lavish production featuring impressive lighting and great sound, they will raise the desert with timeless anthems: "Ha-Zman Shelcha" ("Your Time"), "Hayamim Shelanu" ("Our Days"), "Im Keresh" ("Since We're Here"), "Lo Kal" ("Not Easy"), "Eleh" ("These"), "Mechapes Tshuva" ("Seeking an Answer"), and "Kach Otani" ("Take Me").
Ben Tzur:
The breakthrough of the year in Israeli music and one of the most exciting new voices heard here in recent years. After conquering social media, breaking radio stations and streaming platforms, and selling out solo shows, Ben Tzur arrives to bring his national hits "Kol Akava Le-Tova" ("Every Obstacle for Good"), "Neshamot Tzmaot" ("Thirsty Souls"), and "Etzlanu Zeh Khacha" ("Here It Is Like That") to the Tamar Festival stage, alongside material from his new EP "Ish Ha-Pele" ("The Wonder Man").
Eden Ben Zaken:
One of Israel's most successful and beloved singers, who earned the title "Singer of the Decade," arrives at the Tamar Festival with a new and captivating performance. After breaking sales records and becoming the singer who has performed the most times at the Menora Mivtachim Arena, Eden proves she is no pushover and comes to the desert to perform all her massive hits from all years and classics that have become an inseparable part of the local soundtrack, with a unique energy that belongs only to her.
