Live Nation welcomes Barry Manilow’s hit concert, “Manilow: An Evening of Music and Passion,” to Nationwide Arena on Friday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office and through Ticketmaster.

Columbus is one of a limited number of exclusive concerts that Manilow will be performing away from his home base at the Las Vegas Hilton. With worldwide record sales exceeding 75 million, his work as a singer, songwriter, arranger and producer over the course of more than 40 albums has earned Barry Manilow the highest honors and the distinction of being a powerful and commanding performer.

The Greatest Songs of the Seventies is the third in a series of Manilow’s best-selling tribute albums of popular music which includes The Greatest Songs of the Fifties and The Greatest Songs of the Sixties. Recently entering the Billboard charts at #4, he is the only artist to have three Top 5 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart since 2006. The Greatest Songs of the Seventies is two distinctly unique packages, one an 18-song CD and the other a two-disc set containing a 14-song Dual Disc (audio and video layers) plus a 9-song bonus CD. This is Manilow’s 33rd charting album, his 11th Top 10 and his 10th Top 10 debut.

Tickets are $139, $89, $69 and $39 with a limited number of gold circle and specially priced tickets available. Tickets may be purchased at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office, at all Ticketmaster ticket centers, online at www.ticketmaster.com and by phone at (614) 431-3600. Tickets are also available at the FSN Ohio Blue Line locations at Chiller Dublin, Chiller Easton, Chiller North and The Mall at Tuttle Crossing.
