Leonard Cohen with special guest Bic Runga
Presented by: Frontier Touring Company
BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND SECOND & FINAL CONCERT ANNOUNCED FOR VECTOR ARENA!
Due to popular demand, a second Leonard Cohen concert in Auckland at Vector Arena has been added to his NZ tour schedule.
The excitement and devotion of his fans has been evident. Concert goers have been quick to call Cohen one of the most remarkable, moving live performers and the reviews following his 2009 World Tour reveal critics wholeheartedly agree.
Tickets to the second Leonard Cohen concert on Thursday 28th October at Vector Arena will go on sale Monday at 9.00am but aren’t expected to last long!
Early last year audiences across Australia and New Zealand were privileged to experience the incomparable live talents of Leonard Cohen.
Rapturous reviews followed, with many critics calling the shows the best they have ever seen. The tour went on to win the Helpmann Award for the Best International Concert in 2009. Those lucky enough to be in attendance at the concerts described them in glowing and effusive terms, earning the envy of those who had missed out on what many speculated would be the last opportunity to see Leonard Cohen on our shores.
Accordingly it is with no small amount of pleasure that The Frontier Touring Company announce that Leonard Cohen has agreed to return - with his amazing nine piece band and backing singers - to New Zealand for an encore series of concerts in October 2010.
Those unfortunate enough to have missed out on Leonard’s last tour will now have the opportunity to experience first hand the phenomenal live performance that had reviewers in raptures.
