London-wise, i can see the aforementioned Royal Festival Hall or the Barbican work a treat,
and also think the Roundhouse and the Hammersmith Apollo could work nicely
(and how about a 'warm-up' at the Union Chapel - just imaging 'hallelujah' and 'if it be your will' being done there gives me goosepimples, it would probably be more then i could take )

I hope he does the Roundhouse. That would be great.

If he does do extra dates in the UK, when are where would these be announced?

I didn't get the best tickets for O2.

Want to get better ones next time.

Good shout, It would be superb venue

I have always thought the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester an excellent venue - built for sound.But Liverpool would be an appropiate choice this year, as the European capital of culture.

I think that we have had our fair share of a very precious commodity and should let others have their own moments of magic.. . . that having been said I'll be first in line if he is back in the autumn

How great would that be...but in the meantime, if you want a more intimate Leonard experience - come to Paris in November. Olympia is a lovely small old-fasioned theatre. Tickets ain't cheap but hey, it's Len, in a small room - priceless!

Check out the post 'Paris, Olympia, 24-26.11' for a seating plan and photo of the venue.

There are still tickets left - even as close rows 12, 13... you can get them either from the venue direct (http://www.olympiahall.com/spectacles.asp - scroll down to November to find Leonard) or from GDP (http://www.gdp.fr) - who are a similar operation to Ticketmaster I think.

If you're not a French speaker go for the Olympia site as there is the option to view pages English (click on 'purchase' rather than 'acheter' for English text on the next screens).

Good luck!

Oh man, sooo with you on that one - I would remortgage my flat to see him at Union Chapel!

The Liverpool Arena is an appauling venue, I recently saw Roger Waters there,
throughout the gig, people were continually up and down to the bar,also smoking in the
auditorium throughout the concert .

The Philharmonic Hall would be a superb choice but only holds about 1700 people
so would need 2/3 nights.

Fingers crossed.

Symphony Hall Birmingham,
magical acoustics,and room for those extra few folks too!

That would be great but I cant find it on Ticketmaster today

Look up "Leonard Cohen" on a general search... it gives three options. Choose "nationally scheduled" ... and there under o2 arena is the cardiff date and a note to say it's on sale at 9am tomorrow - 18/07.

It was there earlier but it has now disappeared without explanation!
