One Friday night, Tel Aviv beach stylee!
It’s hot and sweltering in Tel Aviv these days but on Friday night it’s always scorching, whatever the season. Of course, there are plenty of places to check out in The City That Never Sleeps, from regular pubs (check out our Top 10 bars in Tel Aviv) to dance bars to full-on clubbing if you’re [...]
Jerusalem Beer Festival 2010
Tomorrow sees the start of the Jerusalem Beer Festival, 2010. Held over two days (the 18th and 19th), that should be just about enough time (or not, if you’ve got British DNA) to get yourselves a sampling of some of the many beers - over a hundred brands - on show.
The Jerusalem Beer Festival is [...]
The Drums and LCD Soundsystem join PiL for a Heineken in Tel Aviv
This summer’s Heineken Music Festival in Tel Aviv has already gotten some much needed hype with the confirmed arrival of the legendary John Lydon and his PiL colleagues. Now Brooklyn natives The Drums and one of my favorite underground groove bands, LCD Soundsystem, have also confirmed they’ll be taking part. Looks like the end of [...]
National Geographic votes Tel Aviv one of world’s top beach cities
The National Geographic last week voted Tel Aviv one of its Top 10 beach cities in the world. Not surprising really, to those of us in the know who’ve enjoyed its golden sands and cute beach cafes. I won’t mention the cute Israeli girls in skimpy bikinis. I was down there myself yesterday, and though [...]
Exhibition of controversial photographer David LaChapelle opens in Tel Aviv
Tomorrow sees the opening of a brand new exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, one that will probably get talked about more than most. Controversial US photographer David LaChapelle, he of the Courtney Love picture to the right, has brought a number of his photos to Israel for the first time ever, giving [...]
John Lydon and PiL coming to Tel Aviv!
Oh yes, the PiL in IL! One of the greatest icons of 20th century music is on his way to the Holy Land! John Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, is bringing his reformed PiL (Public Image Limited) band to the sandy shores of the Med. Bless his little heart. He’s here to [...]
Missy Elliot performing in Israel tomorrow night!
The cancellation season is long over (Elvis Costello and The Pixies among others managed to disappoint music fans here in the Holy Land this summer, but hey, welcome to the Middle East…), so it’s now time to welcome one of R&B’s greatest female artists, Missy Elliot! It’s her first ever trip to the Holy Land, [...]
Thirty Seconds To Mars coming to Israel
So, in spite of some recent cancellations, and some music legends (Sir Elton and Sir Rod) coming to Israel’s cultural rescue, it’s good to see some younger, rocking talent hit the sandy shores of the Holy Land. Oh yes, adding themselves to the list of musical performers coming to Israel this summer are Thirty Seconds [...]
White Night in Tel Aviv - 5 FREE things to see and do
In July 2003, Tel Aviv was declared The White City by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, thanks to its awesome, unique, architecture. Ever since, Tel Aviv City Hall has celebrated this honour with an annual one-night all-night festival geared towards its citizens. Visitors to Tel Aviv are, of course, more than welcome to enjoy the festival [...]
A slice of life in Tel Aviv
Another awesome video to get you all loved up about Tel Aviv. This is another great clip filmed by Yossi Shalev, who has captured the spirit of a lazy Tel Aviv afternoon, as the sun shines, coffee and beer is drunk, papers read, people mingle and passers by just…well, pass on by. Again the action [...]
Elton John LIVE in Israel!
So in sneaked Sir Elton John last Thursday night, smuggled in under a blanket of anonymity in case anyone got wind of his appearing in the Holy Land (yeh, like nobody knew!). Some artists have been falling by the wayside in recent weeks, under immense international lobbying by those who hate Israel, but there was [...]
Light in Jerusalem 2010 - and then there was light!
