Leonard Cohen Hasn't Cancelled Benicassim Appearance

Leonard Cohen is still scheduled to make a headline appearance at this years Benicassim Festival, according to the events organisers.

Speaking to Gigwise, organisers said they were aware of a report on Cohen’s website which suggested he had cancelled his appearance but said they hadn’t received any confirmation from his management.

“If his management tell us he cancels his performance at Benicаssim, you can be sure we will announce it asap, but for the moment he hasn’t,” a spokeswoman added.

Users on Cohen’s forum voiced their anger when news of his supposed withdrawal was posted last week, with many saying they had brought tickets especially to see him.

My Bloody Valentine, Babyshambles and The National are among other acts scheduled to appear at the festival – which runs from July 17th-20th.
