Another one to add to the list.
Not a particularly
huge fan, but I like enough of his stuff, and it would be a shame not to go. (Plus it's a few days before me burfday.)

The grounds IMMA ( Irish meseum of modern art) should make a great location for the concert .Weather permmiting it sounds like the makings of fine summer evenings entertainment.
On the down side the tickets will probably cost you an arm and a leg though
Arse!!
concert tickets in Ireland are always so f**king ridiculously expensive

And hello and welcome!
Thank you
- been lurking a bit. But prices like those make one shout out loud involuntarily. I think the promoters must expect that he only has wealthy fans? Then again, they don't call Ireland the Rip-Off Republic for nothing!

More so: it's a must!
I'm sorry to hear you people from further away will have to pay a bit more... , but you could always come to the Bruges gig

Apparently the Leonard Cohen gig isn't part of the Cactus Festival, but is in that place the night before the festival starts. Tickets are on sale now via
www.sherpa.be and are 46Euro + 4euro for reservational bollocks. That's 50 euro for the legend... hmmm, it ain't cheap, but still way better than the 115Euro you folks from the islands have to cough up.
If you wanna go, it's probably better to buy yer tickets asap

Bought my ticket for the Edinburgh Castle gig yesterday.
£54 with booking fee but when will I ever get the chance again?
Hopefully I won't discover his voice is knackered and he's decided to play metal versions of his greatest hits!

I'm very tempted. Anyone else going to see him in Edinburgh, Amsterdam or Manchester?
