Rejoice, Israeli heavy metal fans! Following a year of limited events due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kineret Open Air is bringing together the country's best rock groups for a first-of-its-kind festival in northern Israel.

No less than 20 groups are scheduled to appear at the two-day event, set to begin on Oct. 22, at Jordan Park right next to the Sea of Galilee.

"The aim of KOA is to provide Israeli fans with the experience of international heavy metal festivals using local talents," the producers said in a statement. "The decision came after almost all major events of the genre were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic – such as the summer Wacken Open Air festival in Germany, or the annual Hellfest festival held in France."

Fans will have the chance to see performances by Israel's most well-known heavy metal and rock bands, such as Walkways, Shredhead, Prey For Nothing, Scardust, Subterranean Masquerade, Desert, Dukatalon, Lehavoth, Dim Aura, Sinnery, Ketoret, DPS, Artland, Revision The Dream, Ostra Torn, Twisted Mind, Delicate Disorder, Bzaat, Unleash the Pain, and more.
