Indingev Festival Returns in Full for 20th Anniversary With More Than 120 Shows

Indingev will return in full for its 20th anniversary, after a long break and a smaller comeback edition in 2025. The festival is set for October 15 to 17 in Mitzpe Gvulot, with about 120 performances across five stages, plus content spaces, art, film, workshops, children’s activities and camping areas.

Organizers unveiled the lineup on Sunday, with roughly 80 of the planned 120 shows announced so far. Among the featured acts are Ehud Banai, Rita, Nuno, Monica Sex, Peled, Maor Cohen, Tamir Bar, Lola Marsh, Alma Gov, Efrat Ben Zur, Daniela Spector, HaSmachot, the Ramirez Brothers, Tomer ישעיהו, Yishai Swees, Eden Derso, Gon Ben Ari and the Zulat Choir, along with dozens of other independent artists and bands.

The festival will also include an “Adama” area with talks, meetings, film screenings and artist workshops, as well as art spaces, exhibitions and installations. This year’s artistic theme is “the Other,” which the organizers say will focus on breaking apart and rebuilding Israeli reality through visual creation.

Ticket prices will range from 490 to 570 shekels for adults, while children’s tickets will cost 190 shekels. The organizers said thousands of tickets had already been sold before the lineup was announced, leaving only a limited number available. Artistic director and chief producer Asaf Ben David said the return to a full-format festival ends a long wait and completes an important circle, adding that the 2025 event was “perhaps the most special and significant” they have ever held. He also noted that on October 6, 2023, the festival had announced that the largest edition planned had sold out, and said this year’s return is a necessary and meaningful step after everything the public has gone through.
