Barry Manilow coming to Orlando on his farewell tour

Superstar Barry Manilow has announced he’ll perform in nine U.S. markets for the final time next year during his farewell tour.

The Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award-winning icon, known for hits such as “Mandy,” “Can’t Smile Without You” and “Copacabana (At the Copa)” stops at Orlando’s Kia Center on Jan. 7, 2026. Manilow’s time on the road also includes dates in South Florida, Tampa, Jacksonville, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Ohio.

The tour announcement coincides with the release of a new single, “Once Before I Go,” which reflects on his life, career and the bittersweet goodbyes that come with the winding down of a more than 60-year career.

As the number-one adult contemporary artist of all time by Billboard and Radio & Records magazines, Manilow has sold more than 85 million albums worldwide and released more than 40 albums throughout this career. His catalogue includes 51 singles that have reached the top 40 chart, including 13 number-one singles and 28 in the top 10 hits.

Before and after his farewell tour, Manilow will continue his long-running Las Vegas residency with performances at the Westgate Las Vegas.

Beyond the stage, the performer founded the Manilow Music Project, which has donated millions of dollars in instruments and resources to schools across the country, including Orlando’s Jones High School in 2018.

Tickets, which start at $25.50, go on sale with an artist pre-sale starting at 10 a.m. Sept. 24. The Kia Center, Outback Presents and Westgate pre-sales begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 25. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Sept. 26. More information: barrymanilow.com or kiacenter.com
