Lorde performs at the Coachella festival in Indio, Calif. She recently canceled an upcoming concert in Israel. And over the weekend, the singer Lorde became the latest musician to cancel a performance in Tel Aviv after fans pressured her to do so. In recent years, several artists have canceled tour dates in Israel, either for political reasons or because of ongoing violence. For as many artists who cancel shows in Israel, there are others who face criticism and still press on with their tour dates. In 2006, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters moved a performance from Tel Aviv to a village jointly formed by Arabs and Israelis.
