Grammy, Tony, and Emmy award winning music icon Barry Manilow will return to the UK for his Last Last Concerts, heading to Birmingham's bp pulse LIVE on Tuesday 16 June 2026.
Commenting on the tour, he said: "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 UK 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'."
