Israeli Digital Stars Announce 'Soulstars 2026' Hanukkah Live Show in Tel Aviv
Israeli social media stars known as the Solties are heading to Tel Aviv this Hanukkah for the 'Soulstars 2026' live stage production, promising interactive challenges, music, and special effects.
As the upcoming Hanukkah holiday approaches, Israeli children are preparing to meet their favorite social media stars at a special show titled "Soulstars 2026". The event will be led by the Solties—Ori Ben Ari, Shoval Eliezer, Naveh Bar Moab, and Paz Sagi—who have become one of the most prominent phenomena in the Israeli children's and digital world.
The group first made history when four friends attempting to launch a tech startup transitioned into content creators with a massive following. When they launched their own chocolate brand, 30,000 children and teenagers flooded the launch event at a shopping mall, which was ultimately canceled at the last moment due to extreme overcrowding.
The records continued when the group released a full-length feature film in theaters, selling over 200,000 tickets in a single month. The stage show takes everything children are used to watching on screens for hours and brings it to the live stage, turning the digital world into a real-time interactive experience.
The challenges, missions, and content move from smartphones to live performances, featuring tasks built specifically for the stage that unfold in front of the audience. This year, the production is taking what worked in the debut show a step further with new, more complex, and surprising challenges.
Alongside the challenges, the show will combine music, dancers, interactive screens, pyrotechnics, and visual effects, uniting the biggest names in the digital world on a single stage. Alongside the Solties, additional names joining the "Soulstars 2026" cast will be announced soon. This year, the Soulstars performances will take place exclusively in Tel Aviv at the Drive In Arena (Heichal Shlomo), running from December 6 to 11.
