At a time when artists abroad are carefully avoiding Israel on their international tours, and Israeli art has largely become persona non grata, there is welcome news. A successful artist has not only been unafraid to voice support for Israel, but he is also coming to perform. Give a warm welcome to Boy George, the former Culture Club frontman, who will take the stage at Menora Mivtachim Arena on November 4 in a 360-degree format.
George also has a message for his fans in Israel:

Live Nation Israel, together with Guy Basser and Shai Mor Yosef, announced the international show on Tuesday, calling it a moment defined by love, hope and connection to Israel after several difficult years.
Boy George is one of the most iconic and influential artists of the past four decades. He rose to fame in a meteoric breakthrough with Culture Club in the 1980s, and then went on to have a successful solo career with massive hits such as "Karma Chameleon," "Everything I Own" and "The Crying Game."
George also won a Grammy en route to becoming a successful international career as a singer, songwriter and DJ. Over the years, he has performed in Israel and has expressed his love for Israeli audiences. Even when facing international pressure, he chose to preserve his bond with Israel and stand by his personal convictions.
On July 26, George released "WE WILL DANCE AGAIN," a song inspired by the events of October 7 and the massacre at the Nova music festival. The song was accompanied by a powerful music video depicting the stories of the Nova victims and the memory of the young people who came to the festival to dance, celebrate, and have fun, conveying a message of life, hope, and the promise that one day we will dance again.
