Introduction to our Hamburg 2026 Event

Post by Henning »

Hello LC community - as most of you already know, I have raised my hand to organize the next LC Event 2026 and Hamburg is the place to be. 20 years after I have done Berlin it is impossible to present more of the same but hopefully prepare something different for our entertainment and to remember Leonard and friends, who said good-bye to this world but are still very present in our heart. At this early stage I am glad to announce the date of the Event and the milestones on our way to get there.

14. Leonard Cohen Event in Hamburg will take place on August 28-30, 2026.

Milestones:

May 1, 2025: Why Hamburg ?
Sept 1, 2025: Official Invitation
Oct 1, 2025: Start Early Bird Registration
Jan 1, 2026: Start Regular Registration
Feb 1, 2026: Introduction of Program

Whenever some news pop up, you will find it here.

Best Regards
Henning

Best wishes on organizing the upcoming event in Hamburg. I would love to attend this one since you know how to throw a damn good party Henning. I haven't been to an event since Berlin so would really like to go. Good luck!

Hi Henning and friends

What a way to start the New Year! Great news, just too bad we’ll have to wait another year and a half before we can enjoy your organising skills once again!

Henning, it’s so good to see you’ve put your hand up again! 8)

The 2006 Berlin event was very special and we’re confident Hamburg will be likewise.

Cheers,
Andrew :)

Hello Henning and the LC Community - my friend who introduced me to LC many years ago sent me to this forum and the upcoming LC Event in Hamburg in 2026. Wonderful news!

I'm a musician, and I've been touring a Leonard Cohen tribute show with a little band. It's been a really joy and honour for me to be able to play a little part in keeping this music (a)live, and it's been beautiful sharing it with people who have followed Leonard over the years, as well as those brought along by friends who were new to his music.

I have a few links, if it's ok to share them:
A compilation of clips of songs from the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iUYvc0cUAk
Suzanne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPKr2D8N9rk
Famous Blue Raincoat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUtGD_e5U3c
recordings of the show: https://henrytozer.com/store

If you would like, I'd really love to be involved in your LC Hamburg Event.

Do let me know :-) you can contact me through my website, or I guess if you message me here I'll get a notification? I'm new to how this forum works.

Thank you for your kindness,

Henry Tozer

Welcome Henry! Thank you for the links and for keeping Leonard's music out there for old and new fans. Your voice is amazing and the covers were wonderful. So happy that you have found the forum.

Hello Henry - thnx for your offer. You have a great voice indeed. We are so lucky to enjoy so many gifted singers who all adapt Leonards songs in their very own style. For the Hamburg Event I already made my choice for a tribute band early spring this year. But you and your friends are most welcome to register for the event starting October 1 to get in touch with our LC fan group and perform on the open end nights in the bar after the official parts. We are looking forward to some happy hours. More infos about the Hamburg Event will follow soon. Stay tuned.

Wow, this should be great. My wife (Heike) and I definitely want to come! She's German, and used to live in a village north of Hamburg, so spending time there with Cohenites will be great for her (and me).

Best,

Peter
