The Festival on COVID-19 days
This year and for the very first time, we will be uniting the genres we normally split over 2 weekends - into one colorful, multicultural and genre-bending musical event. Rock, Indie, Electronic music, World music, Hip Hop and Jazz will be the building blocks of Showcase 2020, over several days of live music, conventions and worldwide encounters - in person and online.

The festival will take place over 4 days in December, beginning Dec 8th and running through to the 11th.Thisyear we are featuring 16 groups, carefully selected by our artistic committees. All events will be filmed and broadcast on the festival’s different online platforms. The festival’s three evenings will be broadcast in a unique TV festival format -combining live shows, artist spotlights, interviews and conversations with professionals from the worldwide music scene, and segments from previous years- spearheaded by dynamic hosts that will guide viewers along the way. On the fourth day of the festival we will be holding special gatherings and intimate meeting sessions between international professionals and local musicians.
