The Nov. 7 performance was the second of two concerts scheduled at the arena. Organizers advertised a 360-degree format for the Nov. 4 show and announced Israeli singer Ivri Lider and DJ Ofer Nissim as the respective concerts’ special guests.
The Culture Club frontman visited the Nova massacre site near Kibbutz Re’im on Nov. 3. He said he wrote “We Will Dance Again” after encountering survivors’ and families’ stories at an exhibition in London and hearing about his Jewish friends’ fears.
“I couldn’t just sit there and do nothing,” he said.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog hosted Boy George at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem on Nov. 2, thanking him for supporting Israel and the Jewish people. Herzog presented the singer with a sculpture of red anemones inspired by memorial installations at the Nova festival site. “The people of Israel love you, and thank you for standing with us,” Herzog said.
