The producer of the festival, Naranja company, brought the likes of Radiohead, Tame Impala and alt-J to Israel over the years. A great deal of thought and experience was given to the Meteor Festival lineup, which combines a number of styles, from hip-hop to heavy rock and techno. Judging by the excited responses on the internet, we can expect a good turnout for the shows.
Other participants include hip-hop producer Mura Masa, rappers Little Simz and Denzel Curry, saxophonist Kamasi Washington, Rhye and producer Henry Laufer, who goes by the name of Shlohmo.
