Idan Amedi, Omer Adam, Rita, and Osher Cohen to Share Stage at NEXT Concert Series

Two highly anticipated musical collaborations have been announced for the upcoming NEXT concert series, set to launch next month. Idan Amedi and Omer Adam will perform a special duet, while Rita and Osher Cohen will also join forces for a joint performance. These unique pairings were created specifically for the large-scale production.

The first collaboration will see Idan Amedi and Omer Adam perform a duet featuring Amedi's songs "K'ev Shel Lochamim" (Pain of Warriors), "Banchurim Tovim" (Good Guys), and "Nigmar" (It's Over). The production described this as a unique collaboration created exclusively for NEXT, bringing together two of Israel's most prominent and beloved artists.

The second collaboration will feature Rita and Osher Cohen performing their songs "Mechaka" (Waiting) and "Efo Ata" (Where Are You). This pairing is noted as a surprising and moving combination of two distinct musical voices and generations, also created specifically for the event.

The NEXT 2026 concert series, which announced its lineup in early August including Osher Cohen, Odia, Ben Tzour, Omer Adam, Idan Amedi, and Rita, previously sold nearly a quarter-million tickets last year, making it Israel's most successful music event series ever. The shows will feature hits from the participating artists, timeless classics, and special arrangements crafted for the performance, presented on a 360-degree stage with a live band and professional dancers.

These duets are part of the musical production for the successful show, which begins on October 8th. Additional musical collaborations and surprises are expected to be revealed. The concert series will take place in October at the Ramat Gan Stadium and during Hanukkah at the Pais Arena in Jerusalem.

In related news, Idan Amedi recently announced a new acoustic show called "Karov" (Close) for September in Tel Aviv, focusing on a more intimate performance. Omer Adam, meanwhile, continues to lead Israeli music charts, having been named the most requested artist by soldiers this year according to recent Galgalatz data.
