Barry Manilow will headline new shows at Westgate’s International Theater in early 2027, with presale access for fans opening this week and general ticket sales set for Friday.
Barry Manilow isn’t leaving the Las Vegas stage anytime soon. He’s added a new set of 2027 dates at Westgate’s International Theater, extending his residency and showing there’s still strong demand for his live shows. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the new run includes four weekend blocks in early 2027: February 18–20, February 25–27, March 25–27, and April 1–3.
This announcement comes as Manilow takes a break from performing. He’s on vocal rest, which has led to the cancellation of nine shows through early October. The pause follows "technical and vocal problems" that cut short his August 20 show and canceled the August 21–22 dates. Despite the setback, the 83-year-old singer has already confirmed he’ll be back, with the 2027 shows now on the calendar. His team said that after "29 shows in 68 days," they "were pushing a little too hard" and would "take a quick break" before returning to Westgate on October 8.
New residency dates and ticket details
Presale tickets for Manilow’s fans open Tuesday at 10 a.m. on his official website. General ticket sales start Friday through westgateresorts.com. Announcing the 2027 shows this far in advance gives fans plenty of time to plan, and reflects the residency’s steady popularity. The Westgate residency was previously set to run through December 19, so these new dates mark a notable extension for both Manilow and the venue.
While the 2027 dates are set, Manilow’s current residency is on hold. Doctors have ordered vocal rest until October 8, which means his next nine performances—including those originally scheduled for September 17–19 and September 24–26—are being rescheduled. Ticket holders are being contacted with options for new dates or refunds. Recent reports also mention that Manilow had surgery for cancer on his left lung in December 2025, which has influenced both his touring plans and the current break for recovery.
Westgate’s approach to entertainment
Westgate Las Vegas relies on established acts to anchor its entertainment lineup, and Manilow’s extended run is a key part of that strategy. The International Theater, a venue with a long history in Las Vegas entertainment, continues to draw crowds with well-known headliners. Announcing 2027 dates more than a year ahead is a way to keep momentum and secure future bookings in a competitive market.
Las Vegas venues have increasingly made long-term commitments to proven artists, hoping to drive ticket sales and visitor numbers. This approach is similar to other major events, like the Extreme Thing anniversary returning in 2027, as operators look to lock in big attractions well in advance.
What fans can expect
For anyone planning ahead, Manilow’s 2027 shows offer a rare chance to secure tickets for a residency that often sells out prime dates. The International Theater’s size and acoustics remain a draw for both Manilow and his audience, and its location at Westgate is convenient to the Strip and nearby resorts. Fans should keep an eye on Manilow’s official channels and Westgate’s website for updates on ticket availability or changes to the schedule.
Manilow’s decision to commit to future dates, even while on vocal rest, shows his reliability as a Las Vegas headliner. It also signals Westgate’s intent to keep its entertainment lineup steady and appealing to both returning and new visitors. In a city where residencies can be short-lived, this kind of advance planning is a clear move for stability. For now, Manilow remains one of the most dependable draws in Las Vegas live music.
