Barry Manilow to play nine farewell shows in Jan 2026

Barry Manilow will play nine farewell concerts across the southeastern and midwestern United States in January 2026, the 82-year-old singer announced, saying the shows will be the final appearances in each of those markets. The run opens Jan. 6 in Sunrise, Florida, and concludes Jan. 18 in Columbus, Ohio, with stops including Orlando, Tampa, Estero, Jacksonville, Charleston, Greensboro and Duluth.

Manilow’s website lists the full routing and venue schedule, which includes two performances in Estero on Jan. 10 and 11 and the final stop at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Jan. 18. The announcement described each engagement as a “last” performance for that city, a designation Manilow has used in previous farewell runs. Tickets and VIP packages will be offered via the artist’s site and through standard ticketing platforms; the site says VIP packages become available beginning Sept. 23 and that a fan-club presale will precede the general public on-sale, which is scheduled for Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. local time.

Manilow posted on Instagram that the concerts are “more than just concerts” and called them “a culmination of the decades of MANILOW memories and moments” he has shared with fans....
