Feist, Rufus Wainwright and Serena Ryder will join Adam Cohen and his son on stage at Toronto's Meridian Hall on Saturday, November 7, for Everybody Knows Leonard Cohen 2026: The Official 10th Anniversary Concert Celebration. The 8 p.m. show is the final Canadian stop on the family-led tribute tour and falls on the tenth anniversary of Leonard Cohen's death.

What the Toronto show includes

Adam Cohen, Leonard Cohen's son, created and directs the concert, which pairs his father's most famous songs with rare film and photographic archives. This production represents the first time the Cohen family has organized a formal tribute tour since the 2017 memorial held at Montreal's Bell Centre.

Adam Cohen performs alongside his own son, Leonard Cohen's grandson, and the Toronto date adds three Canadian headliners. Wainwright has often covered Cohen's material, including "Hallelujah," while Feist released a studio recording of "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" after her 2017 tributes, and Ryder recorded "Sisters of Mercy" for her 2006 album. Visual design comes from Montreal studio Moment Factory, which has worked on productions for Billie Eilish and Madonna.

When does the rest of the tour run?

The Canadian dates begin November 2 at the Grand Théâtre de Québec in Quebec City, then move to Montreal's Théâtre Saint-Denis on November 4 and 5; a second Montreal date was added after strong demand. European shows are planned for early 2027, though no dates or venues have been published. More Toronto guests are to be announced closer to the show, the announcement said.
