Barry Manilow Announces ‘The Last Last Concerts’ In UK 

Barry Manilow isn’t done saying goodbye. After playing more than a dozen nights at the London Palladium last year, the iconic singer/songwriter is headed back to the United Kingdom in 2026 for six shows that are being called “the last last concert in these cities.” 

The 82-year-old artist released a tongue-in-cheek statement saying, “I guess ‘leave ‘em wanting more’ was a good rule to follow. Afterall, 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! …  I don’t wanna say goodbye! So we’re coming back. We’re going to have a great, big Barry Manilow concert!”

Manilow recently wrapped a run of North American dates with a July 20 show at SAP Center at San Jose in San Jose, California, which sold 5,894 tickets and grossed $500,239. The evening was promoted by Outback Presents.

The new UK gigs start Jun 9, 2026, at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, followed by shows in Leeds, Liverpool, Cardiff and Birmingham. The last stop is June 17 at The O2 in London.

A fan club presale is going on now.

Meanwhile, Manilow’s “Lifetime Residency” at the Westgate Resort & Casino in Las Vegas continues. Dates are booked from Sept. 11 through Dec. 21. And then the crooner will be back on stage in February, with 2026 dates scheduled through the end of the year.

Manilow’s tour dates are booked by WME’s Gayle Holcomb and he’s managed by STILETTO Entertainment’s Garry Kief.

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. Afterall, 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
