Kaleo to perform in Israel for first time as part of their ‘10 Years of Unforgettable Music’ tour
The Icelandic band Kaleo will play Raanana Amphipark on June 22, 2023. Tickets are available from Eventim starting at NIS 294. This is the band’s first visit to Israel, as part of their “10 Years of Unforgettable Music” tour.
Icelandic Sensation: Kaleo’s Meteoric Rise
Hailing from the land of fire and ice, Icelandic rock band Kaleo has taken the international music scene by storm. Formed in 2012, the quartet features Jökull Júlíusson on vocals, Þorleifur Gaukur Davíðsson on guitar, Rubin Pollock on bass, and Davíð Antonsson on drums. With a unique blend of folk, blues, and rock influences, Kaleo has managed to captivate audiences across the globe through their soul-stirring melodies and powerful performances.
A/B: The Turning Point
Kaleo’s breakthrough came in 2016 with their debut international album, “A/B”. Featuring the hit singles “Way Down We Go” and “All the Pretty Girls,” the album quickly gained traction and catapulted the band into the spotlight. “A/B” showcased Kaleo’s musical versatility, with tracks ranging from haunting ballads to bluesy rock anthems. The album’s success led to numerous accolades, including an Icelandic Music Award for Best Album and a US Billboard Chart appearance.
Kaleo’s Impact on the Global Stage
Since their international debut, Kaleo has continued to make waves in the music industry. They’ve performed on the stages of renowned festivals such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Lollapalooza, and have also been featured on popular TV shows and movie soundtracks. The band’s distinctive sound and evocative lyrics have resonated with listeners and critics alike, earning them a dedicated fanbase and a growing list of achievements.
LP (born Laura Pergolizz) will perform at the Ra’anana Amphitheatre on Wednesday July 27th. The artist, best known for the platinum album, “Lost on You,” has had to postpone their concert twice before — once due to covid and the other due to technical issues. Hopefully, the third time’s the charm (or as the translation in this LP video about the Israel gig says, “Third time, ice cream.”
Since the last scheduled (but postponed) concert in Israel, LP has released a sixth studio album, entitled “Churches.”
LP performed once before in Israel, in 2017 at the Barby Club in Tel Aviv. Since then, their career has blossomed and they have become known around the world.
In addition their own hits such as “Lost on You” and “Other People,” LP has written songs for Cher, Rihanna, the Backstreet Boys, Leona Lewis, Mylène Farmer, Céline Dion, Christina Aguilera and many others.
Tickets from kupat.co.il starting at NIS 299 (with discounts for certain credit card holders). All tickets bought for the postponed shows will be honored.
The band Foreigner will perform at the Raanana Park Amphitheater in Israel on September 29th, 2022. Discount tickets are currently on sale through Max credit cards and American Express with prices starting at NIS 174.
Foreigner is best known for their string of 1970s and 1980s hits, including “I want to know what love is,” “Feels like the first time,” “I don’t want to leave without you,” “Urgent,” “Hotblooded” and “Cold as ice.”
Formed in New York in 1976 by British guitarists Mick Jones, and Ian McDonald (formerly of King Crimson) along with three Americans — vocalist Lou Gramm, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi. Jones came up with the name Foreigner because he and McDonald were from the UK. They had immediate success with their top four albums certified as at least 5x platinum in the US. Foreigner is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.
Mick Jones is the only original member of the band still touring. He will be joined in Israel by Kelly Hansen (vocals), Jeff Pilson (guitar), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), Chris Frazier (drums) and Luis Maldonado (guitar).
The last time the band performed in Israel, in 2018, Mick Jones was unable to play due to illness.
