Nova Community Launches Healing Concert Series Featuring Hostages from October 7 Attack
Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 terror attack, the Nova community is launching a new concert series called "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. For the first time since the massacre, survivors and former hostages abducted from the Nova party will reunite on stage at a joint event.
The new series follows the large-scale "We Will Dance Again" concerts held at Park HaYarkon, which drew tens of thousands of participants. This time, Nova and the company toMix aim to create a fresh format blending electronic, trance, rock, and mainstream Israeli music through unique collaborations among artists on a single stage.
Performers include Omri Sassi, a Nova tribe co-founder and DJ who played on the morning of October 7, alongside Astrix, Moonclipse, the Nova band, Amigdala, and others. Special collaborations will feature Eitan Reiter hosting Orit Shahaf and Tom Petrover from the band "HaYehudim."
Organizers emphasized that music for the Nova community is more than entertainment; it is a space for memory, connection, resilience, and healing. The "NOVA Live Concert" project is described as a vital part of the community's ongoing coping and growth process since the traumatic events of October 7. Early ticket sales have already begun.
