American singer Gloria Gaynor, known for her disco anthem "I Will Survive," is set to perform in Israel again. The 83-year-old artist will hold a single concert on April 13 at the Charles Bronfman Auditorium in Tel Aviv. Ticket prices will range from 334 to 864 shekels.

Gaynor, often called a queen of disco, first gained international fame in the 1970s with hits like "I Will Survive" and "Never Can Say Goodbye." Released in 1978, "I Will Survive" became her signature song, earning her a Grammy for Best Disco Recording and solidifying its status as a major pop anthem, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Diana Ross, and featured in film soundtracks such as "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."

Gaynor released her latest mini-album in 2025. Reflecting on "I Will Survive" in an interview with The New York Times, she described it as a song about hardship and oppression that transformed her life. "Today it is more a song of victory," she stated. "When I sing it now, I am really singing to others. I hope it helps them get to where I am today and beyond. Because I am thriving right now, as opposed to just surviving."

In recent years, Gaynor has continued to tour globally. She previously performed in Israel in 2015.
