British singer Boy George will perform a second concert in Israel on November 7 at the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, following the sell-out of tickets for his initial show on November 4. The additional performance was announced by the production company on Thursday. The second concert will be dedicated to the community of the "Nova" festival and their families, under the slogan "We Will Dance Again." This is also the title of a reggae song Boy George released in July as a tribute to survivors and a memorial to victims of the October 7th attacks. The song, accompanied by a music video featuring images of those killed at the festival, was shared on social media platform X. Following the song's release and his expression of support for Israel, the singer faced professional repercussions in the UK, including withdrawing from the London production of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" and ending his contract with his record label manager, who refused to distribute the song. Boy George, known for his 1980s success with the band Culture Club and hits like "Karma Chameleon," has had a four-decade career including a solo career, DJing, the musical "Taboo," and representing San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest in May. The concerts in Israel, produced by Live Nation Israel, will feature a 360-degree stage setup. Ticket prices range from 280 to 799 shekels and are available exclusively through Ticketmaster.
