Stars line up capital shows

-

BARRY Manilow has announced he will be performing in Cardiff next summer.

Following his headline soldout performanc­e at the BBC Proms in the Park in London and 17 sold-out concerts on Broadway, Manilow has announced he will return to the UK in 2020 for a limited number of arena concerts.

He will be performing in the Welsh capital at the Motorpoint Arena on Tuesday, June 2, 2020.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday, September 20. They can be bought via ticketline. co.uk.

A household name ever since his hit song Mandy rocketed him to fame in 1975, Manilow has plenty of Grammys, Tonys and Emmys to his name.

The first concert of the tour will be at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena on May 28, followed by Newcastle, Manchester, London, Leeds and Glasgow on June 7.

When the award-winning evergreen entertaine­r played in the city in 2016, he said then it would be the last time, and the tour was even called One Last Time.

At the time he said: “We hope to take everyone on an emotional roller coaster. I can’t wait to see everyone dancing in the aisles.

“This is my way of thanking everyone for their years of support...one last time.”

But the 76-year-old just can’t stop performing.

Iconic rockers The Who have also announced a Cardiff show for next spring.

Fifty-five years after their first hit the rock legends will be at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff. They will be performing in the Welsh capital on Monday, March 30 2020.

Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday, September 20 via Tickemaste­r.

They will be accompanie­d by a full orchestra for the tour which will support their first album in 13 years, Who, released on November 22.
