Barry Manilow will bring his farewell tour to Newark in June.
Barry Manilow will perform at the Prudential Center in Newark on June 14. And it’s unlikely he’ll ever be there again. He is calling his tour, which begins in February, “One Last Time!”
In a press release, Manilow said “We hope to take everyone on an emotional roller coaster,” adding that the tour “is my way of thanking everyone for their years of support … one last time!”
While it is possible that he will add more legs to to the tour, it is currently scheduled to end in a fitting way: June 17, on his 72nd birthday, at the Barclays Center in his original hometown of Brooklyn.
