January 27, 2026: Barry Manilow has announced seven new arena dates on his 2026 tour, extending the run into April with additional performances across the Northeast. The GRAMMY®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award-winning icon will bring his celebrated live show to New Jersey (Newark) marking his final concerts in seven newly-announced cities. The announcement marks the beginning of what is shaping up to be a big year for Manilow, with new music expected in 2026.
Artist presale for the April dates begins Wednesday, January 28th at 10:00am until Thursday, January 29th at 10:00pm local. Local and partner presales open on Thursday, January 29th at 10:00am until 10:00pm local. All tickets are on sale Friday, January 30th at 10:00am local.
At every show, Manilow will celebrate local music educators with the Manilow Music Teacher Award. Created through the Manilow Music Project, a program of the Manilow Fund, the Manilow Music Teacher Award honors educators whose passion and dedication help bring music to life for their students. Nominees will be revealed on February 19, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized during Manilow’s concert and will receive a total prize of $10,000 - a $5,000 cash award and $5,000 in “Manilow Bucks” for classroom instrument purchases. Voting closes on March 19.
In addition to celebrating each Manilow Music Teacher Award winner during the upcoming shows, audiences can expect an unforgettable evening as Manilow performs his greatest hits, including “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and “Copacabana (At the Copa).” With his signature showmanship and timeless catalog, each performance will be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration with one of music’s most legendary performers.
Manilow recently released a new single “Once Before I Go,” which continues to climb up the AC chart (currently #13). Today, he has unveiled a piano performance video of the song, filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, home to Manilow’s record-setting and critically-acclaimed residency. Watch the new piano performance HERE.
Last month, Manilow announced a stage-one lung cancer diagnosis (statement here) before undergoing surgery. Thanks to the early detection, the operation went well and his medical team is optimistic.
