Soon after, ambassador Yitzhak Gerberg invited Lorde to a "friendly meeting" to discuss the issue. He wrote on Facebook: <blockquote>"I the Ambassador of @IsraelinNZ invite LordeMusic to meet in person to discuss #israel and its role as the only #democracy in the Middle East. By succumbing to the hateful agenda of the few who support #BDS you encourage animosity in the region. Music should unite not divide. Reactions driven by hatred lead to continued #conflict. But solutions come from engagement and lead to compromise, co-operation, and #peace."</blockquote>She has not yet publicly responded to his invite.<ref>After Lorde nixes Israel gig, envoy to N.

Revision as of 15:45, 16 February 2018

Melodrama World Tour is a world tour that Lorde will embark on in September to promote her sophomore album, Melodrama.

Background

Lorde will embark on this world tour in September, with tickets and tour dates here Khalid is the opener for the European shows, while the North American leg will be supported by Run the Jewels, Tove Styrke and Mitski.[1]

Israel controversy

In December, Lorde announced extra tour dates for Saint Petersburg, Russia, Moscow, Russia and Tel Aviv, Israel. After this, she received backlash from fans for having a concert in Israel. Because of this, she cancelled the show.[2] Even though many of her fans were the ones who pressured her to cancel the show, many of her fans also criticized her for cancelling it.

Lorde on October 12, 2017

US sitcom star Roseanne Barr attacked Lorde on twitter saying - "Boycott this bigot: Lorde caves to BDS pressure, cancels Israel concert."[3] Fans also criticized Lorde for "hypocrisy", as she will be playing Russia twice. Soon after, ambassador Yitzhak Gerberg invited Lorde to a "friendly meeting" to discuss the issue. He wrote on Facebook:

"I the Ambassador of @IsraelinNZ invite LordeMusic to meet in person to discuss #israel and its role as the only #democracy in the Middle East. By succumbing to the hateful agenda of the few who support #BDS you encourage animosity in the region. Music should unite not divide. Reactions driven by hatred lead to continued #conflict. But solutions come from engagement and lead to compromise, co-operation, and #peace."

She has not yet publicly responded to his invite.[4]
