Music legend Barry Manilow is set to embark on a UK tour this week, kicking off on June 9 in Glasgow. The star will perform in Liverpool, Leeds, London, and more, delivering a backlog of industry-shaping hits in his incomparable performance style.
Barry Manilow's New Album and Recent Health
Barry released a new studio album, What a Time, on June 5, marking his first album of predominantly original songs in nearly 15 years. The 13-track album features collaborations with singer Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, nine-time Grammy winner Dave Cobb, and co-writers Bruce Sussman and Adrienne Anderson.
Barry is now set to perform in Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on June 13, despite recently cancelling shows for his Las Vegas residency due to lung surgery recovery. In January, he pushed the dates back again, saying he needed more time to recover before returning to the stage.
UK Tour Start Times
Doors open for Barry Manilow at 6pm. The support act will take to the stage at 7:30pm, followed by a brief interval at 8pm. Barry is scheduled to perform at 8:20pm, with a curfew call for 11pm.
Support Act Information
Barry has welcomed a number of support acts on the tour across his career, including jazz stars Curtis Stigers and Dave Koz, and comedians Jimmy Tarbuck, Gordie Brown, and Bradley Walsh. Comedian Dennis Blaire has been announced as Barry's supporting act for the UK shows.
