Leonard Cohen set for extra London date

11th Aug 2008

Legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen has added a new London gig date to his forthcoming European tour.

The veteran Canadian - who was inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year - will play a second date at London's 02 Arena on November 14th.

Tickets for his other date, a day earlier, sold out in 24 hours when they went on sale.

Cohen will also play arena gigs in Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bournemouth and Brighton, as well as a number of major concerts around the continent.

Meanwhile, in other tour news, The Automatic have announced that they will play a one-off free show in London tomorrow (August 12th) night.

The 120-capacity gig will be at the London Old Blue Last and admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

After a two-year break, The Automatic release their new single Steve McQueen later this month.
