British singer and Culture Club frontman Boy George<\/a> will perform at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv on November 4 in a 360-degree show.<\/p>\n

George’s arrival in Israel is not particularly surprising given the support he has expressed for the country over the years. The star has performed in Israel before, and last July he released “We Will Dance Again,”<\/a> a song inspired by the October 7 massacre and the Nova music festival.<\/p>\n

The accompanying music video focuses on victims of the massacre and young people who were murdered at the festival.<\/p>\n

The Tel Aviv concert comes at a time when performances by international artists in Israel are still far from returning to normal, making George’s decision to perform there a relatively unusual event on the local music scene in recent years.<\/p>\n

Ticket sales will open on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at noon on the Ticketmaster website, with prices ranging from NIS 280 to NIS 799.<\/p>\n

His last performance in Israel took place nearly a decade ago at Yad Eliyahu Arena, with Dana International<\/a> among the artists who appeared alongside him.<\/p>\n

The setlist included nine classic Culture Club songs, two new songs written specifically for the tour, and four covers. Among them, George<\/a> performed the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” paired with Lou Reed’s “Walk On The Wild Side.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of the encore, the band performed “The War Song,” after which Dana International joined George for a joint performance of “Karma Chameleon.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British singer and Culture Club frontman Boy George will perform at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[22942,22943,81259,37,3738,23000,1413],"class_list":["post-302096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-boy-george","tag-concert","tag-concerts-in-tel-aviv","tag-israel","tag-music","tag-performance","tag-the-october-7-massacre"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117314771049833927","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
