Boy George touched down at Ben-Gurion Airport on Saturday. The former Culture Club lead singer came to Israel to perform two concerts in Tel Aviv. One of the shows is a special tribute to the Nova festival community and their families.
Sylvan Adams, the World Jewish Congress Israel president, met the singer at the Fattal Lounge. Guy Besser, a co-owner of Live Nation Israel, was also there. Live Nation Israel is producing both events.
Boy George said he traveled to the country out of love and a belief in peace. He wants to dance and celebrate with the public again. He cited conversations with Jewish friends in Britain as the reason he spoke out on the current situation.
The singer released a track called “We Will Dance Again” in July. The song includes the lyrics “I stand with the Jews” and “You say genocide, I say war.” Boy George described the reaction from his friends as overwhelming.
The first performance is set for November 4 at Menora Mivtachim Arena. Ivri Lider will join him as a special guest. A second concert will take place on November 7. DJ Ofer Nissim will be the guest for that show. The November 7 event is dedicated specifically to the Nova community.
Boy George will hold a press conference on November 3. The venue is the Nova festival site where Hamas killed 364 people on October 7, 2023.
