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 [...]
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, [...]
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv strike it BIG in the World’s Best Awards
In the 2010 World’s Best Awards, held annually by Travel and Leisure magazine (owned by American Express), Jerusalem was crowned the top city in Africa and the Middle East, with Tel Aviv coming in at third. The results will be published in their August issue, but can be viewed online for now here.
In a welcome [...]
Opera Flash Mob in Tel Aviv!
A few days ago this clip hit YouTube and has since become a bit of a viral monster. It features the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra doing a flash mob-type thing in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Center, one of Tel Aviv’s biggest and most popular shopping centers. Nice clip, which mixes opera with food, since the clip was [...]
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 [...]
The Pixies cancel their Tel Aviv gig - Sir Elton to follow suit?
So, the brittleness of the Middle East has been thrust into the limelight over the last few days as news agencies around the world pummel the story of the Gaza flotilla to death…and which in turn leads to some rather more disappointing news, at least if you’re a music fan and appreciate international stars strutting [...]
