According to WMTW, the iconic singer, Barry Manilow has announced he is adding a stop in Maine as part of his 2026 tour! That’s right! He says that this will be his final performances in Portland, like, ever. 

Barry is going to be taking the stage on April 19th at the Cross Insurance Arena to give Maine fans one last chance to see him do what he does best and that’s put on a hell of a show.

Performing hits like Copacabana, Mandy, and Can’t Smile Without You 

His career has reached more than five decades and he is one of the most celebrated artists ever. My mother told me about the time she got to see Barry Manilow in concert and she told me that he sweated on her because she was in the front row and it was the best moment of her life.
