Armadillo Festival is back for its second edition! More extreme, more experimental, and simply hysterical. In the heart of Tel Aviv, three bands from the furthest edges of progressive rock meet for an evening that is anything but standard. Whether you are 70s-loving psychedelic hippies or modern prog-meter nerds, we’ve got it all. With live improvisations on stage and insane grooves, you are invited to the peak of live music!
Shesek
Shesek is an instrumental band blending progressive and experimental rock. With dual drum kits, shifting rhythms, and bold improvisation, they craft an immersive musical experience that pushes the boundaries of sound and live performance. The band does not hesitate to venture into the realms of improvisation; curiosity and the unknown are driving forces both in their songwriting and live on stage.

Saga Véliz
A group that loves to sail far with its imagination, channeling the members’ attention struggles into music—crafting eclectic rock compositions with a tight, almost classical backbone, which unfold into spontaneous psychedelic jams, forming a melodic journey across dimensions.
Saga Véliz’s music blends the sound and spirit of the golden age of psychedelic rock with a boundless, contemporary multi-stylistic approach.
