Barry Manilow's Last Jacksonville Concert Lands at VyStar Veterans Arena

One more Jacksonville goodbye from a touring legend. Barry Manilow plays what is billed explicitly as MANILOW: The Last Jacksonville Concert at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on April 27, a stop on his farewell tour that is touching down in a handful of American cities where he has a long-running fan base. The 15,000-seat arena is expected to sell out for the farewell, with fans traveling in from across Florida and southern Georgia for the show.

The evening will feature Manilow classics — "Copacabana," "Mandy," "Can't Smile Without You" — alongside the later-career material that keeps his live show fresh. Recent farewell dates have extended well past two hours, and the staging has leaned on the theatrical production values Manilow has used for decades.

If you're going: the arena sits in the downtown Jacksonville sports complex, easily walkable from most riverfront hotels. Parking in the surrounding decks fills early; arrive with enough time for the pre-show tribute video that typically opens Manilow performances.
