Doof Festival
Doof Festival (Hebrew: פסטיבל דוף, romanized: Festival Doof) is the largest and oldest trance music festival in Israel. The festival was held for the first time in 2004 and since then it has been held every year on Passover at the ‘Golan’ coast in the eastern part of the Sea of Galilee (Kinnert). The festival hosts artists from Israel and around the world and lasts for three days.
The Doof Festival aims to create a meeting place for culture and electronic music in Israel, a contemporary digital version of the Psychedelic movement in the 1960s while preserving the values of the international raves movement. Over the years, the festival has expanded its vision in ecological directions of preserving the land, especially the beaches of the Kinneret Sea. Today, the festival is a magnet for lovers of electronic music and the trance culture from Israel and abroad and is considered one of the peak events of the trance culture in Israel.
