Omer Adam Delivers a Packed, Patriotic Stadium Show, but the Staging Draws Fire

A review of Omer Adam’s June 11, 2026 concert at Ramat Gan Stadium argues that, despite the show’s heavy borrowing from Bad Bunny’s imagery, Adam himself still deserves top marks. The critic says the singer, backed by an unusually large run of hit songs and a tight emotional connection to every lyric, remains “the biggest of his generation” and “the king of Israel’s good time.”

The article says the audience, about 30,000 people, dressed overwhelmingly in black and white, creating a national, almost military atmosphere. Adam opened with “Tequila,” then moved through a Latin-flavored medley that included “Haverot Shelach,” “Lilot Yafim,” “Mayim Shkoim,” “Panim,” and “Temperature.” The review praises his vocal power and sincerity, noting that he performed “Ben 32” as if he had written it himself in heartbreak.

At the same time, the staging is criticized as derivative. The entrance with a white pickup truck and the sugar-cane-like set elements are described as copied from Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl-style production, after Adam had already echoed that artist’s previous tour last year. The writer says a local adaptation would have made more sense, perhaps using imagery from Adam’s hometown of Mashma Shen, but concludes that once the music starts, the copying matters less.

The review also praises the choice of Ramat Gan Stadium over Yarkon Park, saying the venue had better order, transport access, no-charge parking, and smoother food and drink lines. The concert started exactly at 9 p.m., tickets in the orchestra section cost NIS 499, and visibility was mixed because many in the crowd stood on their seats. Adam thanked support act Ben Zur, dedicated “Buharim Tovim” to IDF soldiers and the fallen, and turned the show into a communal, emotionally charged singalong.
