Legendary Canadian singer Leonard Cohen will perform his only UK show of 2012 at The Hop Farm in Kent.

As part of his world tour, the star will sing a set lasting more than three hours on Saturday September 8 at the Paddock Wood venue. It will include a range of his hits from old classics like 'Hallelujah' to new tracks from his No.1 album 'Old Ideas'.

Vince Power, Hop Farm's promoter, said: "To get the opportunity to bring Leonard Cohen to the UK for his only appearance this year is a fantastic and humbling achievement.

"He is one of the undisputed forefathers of modern folk music and has honed his craft for nearly half a century. We're over the moon he's decided to join us for what will be a truly memorable experience."

A Day at The Hop Farm with Leonard Cohen is going to be an open air event.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday 13th April.

The Hop Farm Music Festival, where Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel will be headlining, takes place earlier in the year in June.
