Barry Manilow announces huge Manchester Co-Op Live Arena gig - how to get tickets

Nine years after his farewell tour and two years since he last performed in Manchester, Barry Manilow has announced he's coming back to perform in the city in a major UK exclusive. And it's going to be a HUGE show.

Music icon Barry will play at Manchester's Co-Op Live stadium for one night in May 2024. Last month Barry became the longest-resident artist in Las Vegas, overtaking an Elvis Presley record set by the King in 1978.

But in 2024 he will head back to the UK "by popular demand" for what is sure to be an epic show. Barry, 80, is known for his global hits like Could it Be Magic, Mandy, Copa Cabana and Can't Smile Without You.

Manilow is a Grammy®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award-winning music icon. Producers say fans can expect his high-energy, hit-packed concert when he returns to the UK on Sunday, May 19, 2024 to play at Co-Op Live.

The one-off performance in Manchester is his only UK show confirmed for 2024 currently. His appearance at Co-Op Live will be part of the stellar opening season of the vast new venue, which sits next to Manchester's Etihad Stadium, and has already announced gigs from the likes of Take That, Olivia Rodrigo and The Jonas Brothers.

Tickets for the newly-announced Barry Manilow date at Manchester Co-Op Live will go on sale on Friday, October 13 at 10am.
