9 June 2026 – Glasgow – OVO Hydro

11 June 2026 – Leeds – First Direct Bank Arena

13 June 2026 – Liverpool – M&S Bank Arena

14 June 2026 – Cardiff – Utilita Arena Cardiff

16 June 2026 – Birmingham – bp pulse LIVE

17 June 2026 – London – The O2 Arena

With more than 85 million in album sales and more than 51 Top 50 hit songs, Manilow ranks as the undisputed #1 Adult Contemporary Artist of all time. His legendary hit-packed concerts consistently receive raves from both audiences and critics around the world.

Barry Manilow announces his last arena concerts in six UK cities for June 2026

Hard on the heels of his sold out fifteen concerts at The London Palladium, Grammy, Tony, and Emmy award winning music icon Barry Manilow will return to the UK for his Last Last Concerts in Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London.

In response to media inquiries, Manilow released the following statement:

FROM THE DESK OF BARRY MANILOW

I swear, I SWEAR I really meant it when I said goodbye to everyone in the UK on the last night of our fantastic run at the great London Palladium.

The audiences there were fantastic as usual and that last night was very moving, knowing that I wouldn’t be seeing my U.K. friends anymore.

It was odd flying home because I wasn’t tired, my voice had held up for the entire run and each show was more exciting than the last. I wasn’t even out of breath at the end of each show.

But I guess “leave ‘em wanting more” was a good rule to follow. After all, I’m 100 years old and any day now I’m probably going to lose my hair, gain a big pot belly and need a cane to dance around to “Copacabana”.

But, as of now I can still run around the stage, I can still hit the high F Natural at the end of “Even Now” and I still look fabulous!

But I said goodbye and I meant it.

Sort of.

There was just one thing. I don’t wanna say goodbye!

So we’re coming back.

We’re going to have a great, big Barry Manilow concert!

Hope you all come. We’ll have a ball!

Love,

Barry
