It's the closest event to Woodstock you'll find in Israel. The 11th annual Dead Gathering, devoted to the music of the Grateful Dead, will take place on April 3 and 4 at the Khan on the Arava Stream near Hatzeva in the northern Arava. Joining psychedelic rockers the Saga Véliz Band and acoustic country/folk band Twin Tree Grove Band will be a slew of DJ sets manned by Gil Matus, Barak Haimovitch and Dead Gathering founder Eran Remler. The vibe is laid back, the attendees are friendly to a fault and the setting is ideal. Tickets and details can be found at en.gratefulmusic.co.il/gathering-11.
