JNS.org – American rock bands The Pixies and Soundgarden will both appear at an international music festival to be held at Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium in June, Israel Hayom reported.

The festival will be produced by Shuki Weiss, who called the event “a dream come true” that has been in the works for years. Both The Pixies and Soundgarden will be performing in Israel for the first time. The Pixies were supposed to perform in Israel in 2010, but the concert was canceled in the aftermath of the Gaza flotilla incident.
