If I could alter topics, I'd call this one "I'll be damned" or something along those lines.

Yesterday a pretty well-known newspaper here posted AGAIN the news that Cohen will come here on July 14. After inquiring if this is the same news as last week, I got this answer: "Cohen is going to come on July 14. That's why "Jurnalul National" (the said newspaper-my comment) didn't come out with the news on friday, in order to have official confirmation first. "Jurnalul National" is the producer of the event".
Well, I'll be damned, if they are the producers they should know better, shouldn't they? But then why don't I see the news anywhere else?! You see why I turn into a pessimist living here.

This is the link to the article.

I've seen it too,and they seem to be pretty sure that he's coming,and it will be a heavy blow for them when tons of angry fans ask why he isn't coming:D

Hi, this is Iguana from Romania - Cohenard at heart. Deeply!

Despite the stren statements here, the Romanian press insists on announcing (broadly!) Cohen's concert in Bucharest, on July 14th.
Here's a link to an article announcing not only the concert, but also the fact that this particular newspaper (Jurnalul National) "brings" him to Bucharest, as part of its 15-year celebrations. Bizarre!

I'll dig into it (newspaper and Events agency sides). But any help with the tour manager's official point of view would be helpful. As a jounalist, I cannot bear false information being spread.

Thanks.

Guys, sorry for posting the link the thrid time.
For some reasons, the older posts did not appear on my screen before but after I posted mine...
The rest of the post is still valid though.

this is getting better and better... now there's an official romanian website set up for the imaginary event: http://www.leonardcohen.ro/

can you guys at least tell us if it's true that there are ongoing discussions about organizing this event, or if it's all lies?

thanks

Quite a site! Just a pic and an e-mail address. Not even an active link..
I'm digging, I'm digging...

well, an inside source said that negotiations are still under way. No sure date, no place, no price for tickets (meaning no price for the concert itself) have been set yet. I guess we are witnessing a PR stunt - and a twist-of-the arm technique. Let's hope for the best - but keep an eye on other places where we can go

Yes, I believe that the shows that were "cancelled" are still under negotiations and therefore are TBA (to be announced). The only thing that I am sure of is that we will have some information in the forthcoming weeks. So fingers crossed and please, people, be patient!

IT SEEMS COHEN WILL COME INDEED AT BUCHAREST!

And how do you know that?

I just know. Trust me, i wouldn't sell bullshit on this topic. I don't know the location, but i can tell you the ticket price starts from 90 RON up to 400 RON.

And same date?

not sure about the date, but mos likely the same as announced before
