British singer Boy George has added a second concert in Israel due to high demand, with tickets for the initial show selling out. The first performance is scheduled for November 4 at the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv. The newly added show will take place on November 7 at the same venue. Ticket prices range from 280 to 799 shekels.
The production company announced that the second concert is dedicated to the Nova community and their families. Boy George, whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd, is dedicating this performance to the victims of the Nova festival massacre on October 7 and their families. This dedication is linked to his recent song, "We Will Dance Again," released in July, which shares its slogan with the phrase associated with survivors of the Nova massacre. A music video for the song features images of young people killed at the festival.
Boy George, best known as the frontman for Culture Club, rose to fame in 1982. The band achieved significant success with hits like "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" and "Karma Chameleon," earning a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1984. He later pursued a solo career and has also worked as a DJ, fashion icon, theater actor, and creator.
His previous performance in Israel was in 2017, also at the Menora Mivtachim Arena. Boy George has publicly supported Israel in the past and has rejected calls from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to cancel his Tel Aviv performances. Following the release of "We Will Dance Again," his social media post sharing the song received numerous pro-Palestinian comments, to which Boy George responded on X, stating, "There are no limits to this madness."
