One of the biggest DJs in the world has added his name to the list of performers at Israel’s annual Dead Sea EDM rave in November.
American dubstep pioneer Skrillex will headline the Minus 424 rave at the base of the iconic Masada, Channel 2 reported. Also said to be joining this year’s all-night rave is the Russian-German DJ Zedd.
The Californian, born Sonny Moore, won six Grammy awards earlier this decade for his work on albums “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” and “Bangarang.”
Last year, 13,000 people came to the festival named for its location 424 meters below sea level. Headlined by the world DJ famous David Guetta, party goers danced to the for 12 hours under the shadow of Masada.
A team of partners, including the Tamar Regional Council, the Tourism Ministry, several production companies and MTV Israel, jointly sponsor the Minus 424 event.
