Legendary singer Gloria Gaynor will return to Israel for a single performance at the Heichal HaTarbut in Tel Aviv on April 13, 2027. Ticket prices will range from 329 to 859 shekels.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1943, Gaynor rose to fame in 1974 with her disco version of "Never Can Say Goodbye." Her iconic hit "I Will Survive" was initially released as the B-side to the single "Substitute" in 1978. When her label declined to promote it, Gaynor took matters into her own hands, distributing copies to DJ's at the renowned Studio 54 nightclub. The song quickly gained popularity, topping the charts in 1979 and earning her a Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording.
"I Will Survive" has since become an anthem for women, the LGBTQ+ community, and many other groups, with hundreds of cover versions recorded. After 26 years of marriage, Gaynor divorced Linwood Simon, who also served as her manager, in 2005. She subsequently took over management of her career. In 2019, she independently released her gospel album "Testimony," earning her a second Grammy Award after seven previous nominations.
