Leonard Cohen with very special guest Sam Hunt

 

Frontier Touring Company are honoured to present the legendary Leonard Cohen in his first Australian and New Zealand concert tour in almost quarter of a century. Leonard Cohen is a true music icon, the writer of such timeless classics as 'Hallelujah', 'Suzanne', 'Bird on a Wire', 'Sisters of Mercy', 'Everybody Knows' and countless other universally loved songs. A celebrated poet, author, master songsmith and hypnotic performer, Leonard Cohen has received rapturous reviews for his recent shows across the UK, Europe and Canada, his first concert performances anywhere since 1993. Cohen's impact on modern popular music has been widespread and profound. Artists ranging from Bono to Nick Cave cite Cohen as a major influence on their own work. His songs have been covered by generations of artists from REM, Elton John, Jeff Buckley, Aaron Neville, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and many more. New Zealand's best-known poet Sam Hunt will open the New Zealand shows. Sam Hunt has made a living for forty years by performing his poetry in pubs, theatres and schools. This will be a once-in-a-generation concert event for all lovers of music, a spellbinding show from one of the true masters.
