Leonard Cohen will return to Victoria in March as the singer’s Old Ideas World Tour brings the Montreal native back to Canada for a second round of dates.

Cohen, 78, is booked to perform March 6 at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, site of his rapturously received 2010 concert. His local appearance is one of eight Canadian dates on the second leg of his world tour, which began in August. Cohen and his eight-piece band played Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Nov. 12 to strong reviews from critics.

Tickets go on sale Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. Full details, including pricing, were not available. For information, go to leonardcohen.com.
