The Grammy, Tony and Emmy award-winning icon will bring his celebrated live show to New York (Long Island, Buffalo, Albany), New Jersey (Newark), Pennsylvania (Wilkes-Barre, Reading) and Maine (Portland), marking his final concerts in seven newly announced cities. The announcement marks the beginning of what is shaping up to be a big year for Manilow, with new music expected in 2026.

At every show, Manilow will celebrate local music educators with the Manilow Music Teacher Award. Created through the Manilow Music Project, a program of the Manilow Fund, the Manilow Music Teacher Award honors educators whose passion and dedication help bring music to life for their students. Nominees will be revealed Feb. 19, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized during Manilow’s concert and will receive a total prize of $10,000 – a $5,000 cash award and $5,000 in “Manilow Bucks” for classroom instrument purchases. Voting closes March 19.

In addition to celebrating each Manilow Music Teacher Award winner during the upcoming shows, audiences can expect an unforgettable evening as Manilow performs his greatest hits, including “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You” and “Copacabana (At the Copa).” With his signature showmanship and timeless catalog, each performance will be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration with one of music’s most legendary performers.

Manilow recently released a new single, “Once Before I Go,” which continues to climb up the AC chart (currently No. 13). Today, he has unveiled a piano performance video of the song, filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, home to Manilow’s record-setting and critically acclaimed residency.
