American singer and performer Lady Gaga will appear in Tel Aviv as part of her current concert tour.
Lady Gaga will perform at Yarkon Park on Sept. 13, her producers announced Sunday. The appearance is part of her current world tour: “artRAVE: The ARTPOP ball,” named after her album released last November.
She will perform in Dubai before heading to Tel Aviv, and will then go on to Istanbul.
It will be Lady Gaga’s second performance in Israel. She appeared on stage in Tel Aviv in August 2009, despite attempts by the BDS movement to convince her to cancel.
