Israel Railways will significantly increase service from the Bnei Brak station, located near Ramat Gan Stadium, to accommodate attendees of the NEXT concerts. The concerts are scheduled to take place between October 8 and October 22, 2026. Due to the expected large crowds, the railway company is implementing special measures to ease traffic congestion and ensure safe and convenient transportation for concertgoers.
Special trains will operate after the concerts using a "full and go" system, and regular train routes will be extended. Additional standby trains will be available based on demand. The Bnei Brak station and other key stations will be staffed with additional railway personnel, security guards, and ushers to ensure passenger safety and efficient service.
Following the concerts, trains will run from Bnei Brak to various destinations across the country. Northbound trains will go to Nahariya, though on Thursdays, October 8 and 15, they will terminate at Haifa Hof HaCarmel, with shuttle services continuing north. Southbound trains will travel to Ashkelon via Tel Aviv and Rehovot, and a train will run to Be'er Sheva Center via Holon, Bat Yam, and communities in the Gaza envelope.
Additional services include trains to the Sharon region as far as Herzliya, a special train from Tel Aviv Savidor Center to Be'er Sheva, and an extended route for a regular train from Bnei Brak to Ashkelon. Israel Railways advises the public attending the concerts to arrive at stations early and follow staff instructions. Purchasing a "daily pass" in advance is recommended for a discount and to save time waiting at the station after the event. For the latest details, passengers should check the railway's website, app, or customer service hotline.
