Leonard Cohen to perform at Hanging Rock
28 September 2010
A very special, once in a lifetime, concert experience has been announced today - the legendary and incomparable Leonard Cohen performing live at the iconic and beautiful Hanging Rock in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria.
For one night only Leonard Cohen will perform under the stars at Hanging Rock on Saturday 20 November. In addition to Leonard Cohen the concert will also feature three of Australia's leading artists - Paul Kelly, Clare Bowditch and Dan Sultan.
Paul Kelly's lyrical musings are a perfect fit for the pensive serenity of Hanging Rock. The revered artist will reprise his critically acclaimed special guest role from Leonard's 2009 tour, this time appearing with his full band.
Following the success of her fourth release, ARIA Top 10 album Modern Day Addiction, Clare Bowditch's bright melodies and irresistible charm are sure to please whilst soulful rocker Dan Sultan's smooth vocals and rousing riffs will fill the air as he serenades all in attendance at this remarkable event.
The Leonard Cohen date will be the first in a special series of concerts at Hanging Rock, which promoter Michael Gudinski has secured approval for.
Michael Gudinski said; "Hanging Rock and the Macedon Ranges have always been a very special place for me personally as I have a second home up there. Holding a concert at Hanging Rock has been something I've been working towards for years and I'm thrilled that we have secured approval for the series. It is fitting that the first concert we're holding there is with Leonard Cohen, an artist as iconic as the location itself."
In 2009 Leonard Cohen left reviewers and fans in awe of his phenomenal performances. His return in 2010 is set to be even more special, with the Hanging Rock concert the only outdoor performance of his fourteen date tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Tickets to Leonard Cohen at Hanging Rock with very special guests Paul Kelly, Clare Bowditch and Dan Sultan go on sale on Monday 4 October from 9am.
