Ishay Ribo’s upstate N.Y. concert nears sellout 

Pavilion seating is nearly sold out for Israeli singer-songwriter Ishay Ribo’s concert on Thursday, August 7, at 8 p.m., at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, N.Y.

As demand continues to surge for the concert, taking place just before Shabbos Nachamu, a limited number of pavilion seats remain available. Lawn tickets and separate seating sections are also still open, with a range of options. It is the first Jewish concert at Bethel Woods.

The open-air amphitheater, in the Catskills, will host Ribo’s only large-scale U.S. concert of 2025. The evening will feature a full-length performance by Ribo, joined by a powerhouse lineup of guest artists: chasidic music icon Avraham Fried, whose legendary voice and timeless songs have inspired generations; the soul-stirring, genre-blending Zusha; and rising star Shmuel, bringing fresh energy and heart to the stage.

Designated separate men’s and women’s seating sections have been added in the lawn area. Free on-site parking will be available, with overflow lots and entry support coordinated by trained staff. Kosher food vendors will be stationed throughout the grounds. Security protocols will match the standards of major venues, with gated entry, clear-bag policies, and a respectful guest experience.

Tickets for spaces in the separate seating sections include a folding chair and are located near the stage.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. concert cost $76.50 all-in on Ticketmaster.com ($59.50 base). To choose men’s or women’s sections, click “Lawn” and make your selection. For groups and VIP access, go to YamimBaim.com.
