The Rolling Stones will perform in Israel for the first time ever at Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park on June 4.

The legendary rock 'n' roll band will perform hit songs from their career in front of more than 50,000 fans from Israel and around the world.

In addition, a selection of international music superstars have recently announced one-off performances in Israel this summer, including international pop superstar Justin Timberlake (May 28); seminal rock band The Pixies (June 17); and Neil Young and his band Crazy Horse (July 17).

Beyonce, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga will also perform in Israel this year. 

"We are thrilled to announce the first-ever performance in Israel by one of the most influential musical groups of all time," said Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America, "which further adds to an already dynamic lineup of performances and festivals taking place in Israel this year."

The Rolling Stones' scheduled performances in March and April in Australia and New Zealand have been postponed following the suicide last week of fashion designer L’Wren Scott, singer Mick Jagger’s longtime girlfriend.

Mick organized and attended a private funeral service for L'Wren earlier this week in Los Angeles, at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
