Roger Waters moves show from Tel Aviv

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 17 (UPI) -- Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters Monday said he is moving his summer concert from Tel Aviv, Israel, to the Jewish/Arab town of Neveh Shalom.

Waters said he will show his support for Middle East peace by performing in Neveh Shalom, the "Village of Peace" established by Israeli Jews and Arabs, Ha'artez reported.

Palestinians decried as hypocritical the British rocker's June 22 concert in Tel Aviv, because Waters was an opponent of Israel's construction of the controversial separation fence, Ha'aretz said.

Waters said he met with spiritual leaders as well as Palestinian and Israeli activists and decided to move the concert to Neveh Shalom as a show of solidarity with the "voices of reason."

Trains and buses will transport ticketholders to the new concert site.

About 35,000 tickets have sold so far, Ha'aretz said.
