Music icon Barry Manilow has announced six new arena shows in March 2026. The GRAMMY®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award winner is set to bring his high-energy, hit-packed concert to Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va on Monday, March 2. This announcement kicks off what promises to be an exciting year ahead for Manilow, with new music on the horizon 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 on January 22nd, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized live onstage 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.

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 music video for his new single “Once Before I Go.” In the video, Manilow portrays a character who sacrifices a traditional family life to pursue his dream as a performer. Filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, home to Manilow’s record-setting and critically-acclaimed residency, the video is directed by Jamie Thraves.

“Once Before I Go” was produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Demonte Posey, and written by Peter Allen and Dean Pitchford. Watch the music video, out now, HERE.
