The iconic Israeli band "The Sixteenth Sheep," featuring Yehudit Ravitz, Gidi Gov, Yoni Rechter, and David Broza, has announced the final performances of their reunion tour. After performing dozens of shows to over 200,000 fans, the group will conclude with six last concerts: four at the Culture Hall in Tel Aviv from September 29 to October 2, and two at the Caesarea Amphitheater on October 14 and 15. Ticket sales open on July 21 at 16:00 via the Zappa website.
The reunion began in winter 2025 with just five shows featuring songs from their acclaimed album "Childhood" alongside solo hits from each member. The initial 25,000 tickets sold out within minutes, causing website crashes and prompting the addition of multiple extra shows due to overwhelming demand. Yehudit Ravitz told Channel 12 News that she anticipated the success and pushed to start the tour earlier amid the ongoing Gaza war and national distress, believing the public needed the music as a unifying "tribal fire."
The tour also marked Ravitz's return to performing after a hiatus since 2016, when she stopped due to stage fright. The reunion has been widely embraced as a cultural phenomenon, resonating deeply with Israeli audiences during challenging times. The band’s final shows will close this historic chapter in Israeli music.
