PREVIEW: One last time for Manilow?

Barry Manilow One Last Time Tour 2016

Bournemouth International Centre

Tuesday 21 June 2016

Last year, Barry Manilow announced that he is going to “hit the road” and perform concerts across the world one last time.  The music legend launched his multi-city One Last Time Tour last autumn in North America and is now heading to the UK. Due to phenomenal public demand, extra dates have been added including a night at Bournemouth International Centre on June 21^st, on sale Friday 15^th April from 9am.

Platinum-selling and nine time Grammy nominated saxophonist Dave Koz has also been announced as special guest for the UK. Koz, who has previously performed with such superstars as Burt Bacharach, Kenny Loggins, U2, Luther Vandross and Rod Stewart, is no stranger to the UK, having previously opened for the likes of Liza Minelli at the Royal Albert Hall, and also supporting Barry on his last tour of the UK back in 2014. 

We had a great time putting the show together.  We hope to take everyone on an emotional roller coaster.  I can’t wait to see everyone dancing in the aisles.”

With his band of 13 musicians and singers, Manilow said, “We had a great time putting the show together.  We hope to take everyone on an emotional roller coaster.  I can’t wait to see everyone dancing in the aisles.”

After performing more than 400 concerts at the Las Vegas Hilton and Paris Las Vegas from 2005 through 2011, Manilow has limited his concert appearances.  The One Last Time Tour is a major undertaking and as Manilow said, “is my way of thanking everyone for their years of support…one last time!”

The Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning musician’s career skyrocketed to superstardom when his mega hit song, Mandy, topped the charts in 1975.
