The story

Meteor Festival in Kibbutz Lehavot Habashan

Meteor Festival runs each year at Pecan Park on Kibbutz Lehavot HaBashan, just before Rosh Hashana, spreading a genre-crossing lineup across five stages and pecan-orchard camping. Its 2018 edition drew international attention when Lana Del Rey performed despite a boycott campaign pressuring her to cancel, followed by reports of unpaid performers.

Lana Del Rey's booking to headline Israel's Meteor Festival became international news in 2018 after boycott campaigners pressured her to cancel, and her decision to perform anyway turned that year's edition into one of the most closely watched music stories to come out of Israel's festival scene.
