British singer Boy George will visit the site of the Nova music festival in Re'im, where he will hold a press conference with survivors of the October 7th massacre, released hostages, and festival producers. The visit comes ahead of his two scheduled performances in Israel on November 4th and 7th.
George stated, "My visit to the Nova site and the press conference express my desire to be there personally, to express my support for the survivors and families, and to dedicate a moment of remembrance and honor to those who are no longer with us." He added that his connection to the Nova community began after visiting the "06:29" memorial in London, which exposed him to the stories of survivors and bereaved families.
The visit follows controversy surrounding his performances in Israel. Initially, it was promoted as an event dedicated to the Nova community with proceeds going to survivors' rehabilitation. However, it was later revealed that no profit transfer was planned, leading to sharp criticism from the "Nova Tribe Community" association, which claimed their name was used without permission.
In response to the controversy, the concert organizers announced a donation of 1,500 tickets for survivors and bereaved families. These tickets will be distributed through the Nova association.
Boy George released the song "We Will Dance Again," dedicated to the victims of the Nova festival, accompanied by their photos. After his first concert on November 4th sold out, a second performance was added on November 7th, which he decided to dedicate to the Nova community.
