Omri Adam, Rita, Idan Amadi to Headline Israel's NEXT 2026 Music Event
The production team behind NEXT 2026, one of Israel's largest music events, has revealed the lineup for this year's performances. The show will feature prominent Israeli artists including Omri Adam, Osher Cohen, Rita, Idan Amadi, Odia, and Ben Tzur. This mix combines some of the most notable contemporary Israeli musicians with Rita, one of the country's most beloved veteran singers.
NEXT has become known for its unique performances that blend artists' biggest hits with classic Israeli songs, special arrangements, and exclusive collaborations created specifically for the event. The show will also include a live band, dancers, and a large-scale stage production.
Compared to last year’s edition, which included artists like Ninet Tayeb, Amir Dadon, Nasrin, and Liran Danino alongside returning performers Odia, Osher Cohen, and Omri Adam, this year’s roster adds Rita, Idan Amadi, and Ben Tzur, while some previous participants will not return. The production noted that nearly 250,000 tickets were sold for last year’s NEXT series, making it the most successful music event in Israel according to the organizers. Ticket sales for the 2026 shows will be announced soon.
