South African rave band Die Antwoord is the latest to join the roster of summer performers, with confirmed plans for a concert on June 8 in the Rishon Lezion ampitheater.

The offbeat, alternative group, which includes singers Ninja, Yolanda Visser and DJ Hi-Tek, is based on the South African “zef” countercultural movement, and was founded in 2008 in Cape Town, South Africa. Die Antwoord is Afrikaans for “the answer.”

The band has a cult following, first developed on social media platforms with the release of its first songs.

This will be Die Antwoord’s first appearance in Israel.
