Nova Community Launches Healing Concert Series Featuring Hostage Survivors from October 7 Attack

Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 terror attack, the Nova community is launching a new concert series titled "NOVA Live Concert" to continue its healing journey through music. The series will debut on September 10, 2026, at the toX venue in Rishon Lezion, marking the first time since the massacre that survivors who were kidnapped from the Nova party and later returned to Israel will appear together at a communal event.

This new series follows the large-scale "We Will Dance Again" concerts held at Park HaYarkon, which drew tens of thousands of participants. The organizers, including the Nova community and the company toMix, aim to create a fresh format blending electronic, trance, rock, and mainstream Israeli music through unique collaborations on a single stage.

Performers scheduled for the event include Omri Sassi, a Nova tribe co-founder and DJ who played during the morning of October 7, alongside artists such as Astrix, Moonclipse, the band Nova, Amigdala, and others. Special collaborations will feature Eitan Reiter hosting Orit Shahaf and Tom Petrover from the band "HaYehudim."

The project was conceived to extend the community’s healing process through music, which organizers describe as "much more than entertainment; it is a space for memory, connection, resilience, and healing." The concert series represents a significant step in the community’s ongoing recovery and growth since the traumatic events of October 7.

Tickets for the premiere event are already on sale.
