The Last Dance: Barry Manilow Bids Adieu with Final U.S. Performances

Legendary entertainer Barry Manilow has announced a series of U.S. tour dates for January 2026, which are slated to be his final concerts in nine specific markets. These farewell performances include stops in major cities such as Orlando and Tampa, Florida, as well as Columbus, Ohio, among others. While these dates mark a significant moment for fans in those areas, those who might miss out still have ample opportunity to see Manilow, as his long-running residency at the International Theatre at Westgate Las Vegas has tickets available through December 2026.
Tickets for these newly announced tour dates will go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 26, at 10 a.m. local time. For fans seeking an enhanced experience, VIP packages will be made available for select shows starting Tuesday, September 23, at 1 p.m. ET. Comprehensive information regarding all dates, tickets, and VIP packages can be found on Manilow’s official website.

Manilow’s reputation as a legendary showman is well-established, built on the foundation of his successful Las Vegas residency and record-breaking appearances at venues like Radio City Music Hall.His extensive touring history is evident in his music, famously referenced in his 1975 Billboard Hot 100 hit “It’s a Miracle” with the line, “From Boston to Denver/ And every town in between.”
Ahead of these anticipated farewell tour dates, Manilow has released a new single, a captivating cover of the Peter Allen-Dean Pitchford ballad titled “Once Before I Go.” This recording was produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Demonte Posey. The song originally appeared on Peter Allen’s 1983 album, *Not the Boy Next Door*, and has since been covered by notable artists including Patti LaBelle, Hugh Jackman (in the Broadway production *The Boy From Oz*), and Johnny Mathis, whose version also featured production by Babyface on his final non-holiday studio album.
