Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen announce tour dates in Ireland

Dylan and Cohen, the two elder statesmen of music, have recently announced their tour dates. To my surprise, both are planning Irish gigs. With Dylan now pushing 70 and Cohen 75, there may not be many more chances to see these giants of the industry in my home country.

Although I have seen Dylan a few times already it has always been a wonderful experience, one which I'm not sure I can pass up. A few years back, I wasted a ticket to see Cohen in Dublin due to work obligations. Of course, friends who went told me that it was the best gig they had ever been to. So I guess I can't miss that one either. What a hard life it is!

Bob Dylan will play the Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick on July 4th

Leonard Cohen will play Lissadell House in Sligo on July 31st
