Leonard Cohen’s rapturously received world tour has been extended due to unprecedented demand.  The legend will continue to bewitch audiences throughout September, October, November and into December - keeping one of the best reviewed tours in history firmly on the road.

Cohen started in Toronto, Canada, travelling to the USA and across Europe. Recently the Glastonbury Festival fell for his charms, just as intimate theatres, opera houses and arenas have since the beginning of June. “Anyone who was standing at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury as the sun set on Sunday evening would agree that Leonard Cohen stole the show,” reported The Independent.

Quickly recognised as musical folklore in the making, 29 of the original dates sold out almost immediately, leaving fans and critics alike hailing the show as a once in a lifetime experience.

However, requests for Cohen to perform have flooded in from all over the world and these extra shows will satisfy some of the fans clamouring for the chance to see the legend:

Manchester Evening News – “Cohen magisterially delivered a career-spanning set that seemed to be one highlight after another….a unique, soul-stirring event, surely destined to be remembered as one of the great shows of the year.”

The Daily Telegraph – “immaculate, beautiful, exquisite”

Daily Express – “Leonard Cohen is special and this concert – all two-and-a-half-hours of it – was unforgettable.”

The Independent – “to hear him sing is still an experience to truly make young women and romantics shiver and sweat.”

The Guardian – “Almost magically transcendent.”

Toronto Sun -  “Charming, funny, poignant, smart, sharp, sexy – yes at 73… he is still a ladykiller”

The Observer – “An evening of pure gold”

The Times -  “On this kind of grand autumnal form, he should tour every year.”

Rob Hallet of AEG Live said: "We are thrilled that Leonard has agreed to extend what is surely the tour of the year, if not the century!  Thousands more will get to experience the delight that is a Leonard Cohen concert".
