Why it matters

Manilow's farewell tour marks the end of an era for his devoted fans in Upstate New York, who have followed the legendary singer-songwriter's career spanning over seven decades. The concerts will be a chance for local music lovers to bid farewell to one of the most iconic performers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
