Rapper Pusha-T joins a full lineup planned for the Meteor Festival, a three-day event being held Thursday through Saturday, September 6-8, at Pecan Park on the Jordan River.
He’ll be joined by electronic musician Flying Lotus, American jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, and Russian DJ Nina Kraviz, as well as dozens of local and international performers, including Fortis, Berry Sakharov, ACollective, Assaf Amdursky, Ester Rada, Hadag Nachash, Jane Bordeaux, Khalas, Noga Erez and Balkan Beat Box.
The concept of the festival is a cutting-edge musical journey held on the shores of the Jordan River in the Upper Galilee, timed for the end of the summer and just before the Jewish New Year.
The Festival will host more than 50 international acts and a similar number of local artists. Participants will camp under the pecan trees, watching shows on five stages, and can buy full event or day passes.
“For three days and two nights we plan to create an alternative reality and dive right in,” wrote Eran Arielli from Naranjah, the promotion company putting together the festival.
