Leonard Cohen – 'Old Ideas'
Leonard Cohen has announced dates of a 2012 European tour recently and was expected to announce UK tour dates these days. It now looks like the 77-year old Canadian singer-songwriter will only perform at a new event to be produced by Music Festivals plc called ‘A Day at Hop Farm’.
Cohen will perform classic songs and showcase new tracks from his No1 selling album, ‘Old Ideas’. Tickets for the new festival will go on sale from 13 April 2012
The event will take place on 8 September 2012 on the same site of Music Festivals plc’s established Hop Farm Festival in Kent, which this year is taking place between 29 June and 1 July 2012.
Vince Power, the CEO of Music Festivals plc, said:
“To get the opportunity to bring Leonard Cohen to the UK for his only appearance this year is a fantastic and humbling achievement. He is one of the undisputed forefathers of modern folk music and has honed his craft for nearly half a century. We are delighted he’s decided to perform for us for what will be a truly memorable experience.”
