Seven years after their last show and 13 years after they came here for the first time, Calexico – whose music sits somewhere on the seam between indie-rock, country, Mexican folk and western music – will appear on Saturday (30.7) for the fourth time at the amazing Skyline Skyline, at the highest point of Ariel Sharon Park, from where it will be possible to see both the band and all of Tel Aviv at the same time. At night. In short, a completely unique experience and highly recommended. The really good news: we have a crazy discount for you.

It is, if it needs to be mentioned, one of the most appreciated indie bands in the world and it is coming to Israel after a 7-year hiatus for one and only performance. And the benefit? A ticket for only NIS 160 instead of NIS 245, And all you have to do is click here and enter the discount code, TO307.
Calexico, founded by the veterans of the amazing and underrated alt-country band Giant Sand in 1990, is named after the town on the border between California and Mexico (California + Mexico = Calexico). Since then, they have managed to release a long series of acclaimed albums, 12 in total, the latest of which is El Mirador, released this year, as well as collaborations with names such as Iron & Wayne, Willie Nelson, Nelson Sinatra and even… Ehud Banai, in their first performance in Israel (at Barbie , August 2009). The last few years, when the border between Mexico and the USA has become an even more charged arena than usual, have also turned them into a more political and edgy band than ever. The production is signed by Live Nation Israel.
