Lengthy fall tour ahead for Barry Manilow

Singer/songwriter Barry Manilow has unveiled plans for a fall tour that's expected to visit arenas in 22 major U.S. markets this fall.

Organizers continue to put the final touches on the schedule, which starts with a Sept. 30 show in East Rutherford, NJ. Tickets will go on sale in early July, according to Stiletto Entertainment, which is producing the tour with Clear Channel Entertainment.

Manilow plans to perform "in the round," with the stage set up in the center of the arena, according to producers.

The tour is dubbed "One Night Live!--One Last Time!" and comes on the heels of his new live album, "Two Nights Live," which hit stores in April. "Two Nights Live" and the "Ultimate Manilow" DVD were recently certified gold by the Recording Industry of Association, and the best-of album "Ultimate Manilow," which was released in 2002, is now certified platinum.

Manilow's most-recent major tour took place in 2002, when he visited 50 cities and grossed $21.4 million, according to Pollstar. The outing ranked at No. 21 on the concert-industry magazine's year-end Top 100 Tours list.
