One of your mom’s favorite showmen just announced a string of 2023 tour dates, including one in Tampa.

Tickets to see Barry Manilow at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Saturday, Jan. 14 are on sale now and start at a whopping $15.75.


The 79-year-old “Mandy” singer celebrates 50 years since the release of his eponymous debut album next July, and despite having already conducted a year-long farewell tour, which rolled into town in 2016, Manilow remains relatively active.

He released a sequel to his 2014 album of Great American Songbook pieces right before COVID-19 lockdowns commenced, and still holds down hit-drenched residencies in Las Vegas.
