French Riots Force Eyal Golan to Postpone Paris Concerts

Israeli singer Eyal Golan has postponed his planned major concert tour in Paris next month due to the ongoing riots in France. The decision was made out of concern for public safety amid the security situation and fears of potential antisemitic incidents. Golan was scheduled to perform his "GOLD" show at an arena in the French capital for tens of thousands of fans as part of a series of performances.

The postponement came at an advanced stage of preparations, with ticket sales reportedly ready for official announcement. According to sources familiar with the matter, Golan's team held assessments with French producers, concluding that taking risks was inadvisable. A primary concern was that gathering thousands of Israelis and Jews for the concerts could incite antisemitic protests and endanger attendees.

Liam Productions, representing Golan, confirmed the postponement, stating that due to the security situation in France, the decision was made to defer the tour to quieter times. The production company emphasized that fears of antisemitism in the country were a central consideration. A new date for the concerts, which were intended to bring one of Golan's major shows to the Jewish and Israeli community in France, has not yet been set.
