“Weird Al” Yankovic announces 2025 tour with costumes and everything

The last time comedy-rock godfather “Weird Al” Yankovic toured was two years ago, and he announced it as the unfortunate return of the ridiculously self-indulgent, ill-considered Vanity Tour. Like the first ridiculously self-indulgent, ill-considered Vanity Tour in 2017, these shows were mostly devoted to Yankovic's obscure, non-parody songs and barely featured any big production numbers. Since then, though, Yankovic has gotten his own Emmy-winning biopic and recently released “Polkamania!”, his attempt to run through the last decade of pop in the form of a polka medley. Now Yankovic is ready to hit the road again. This time, he's playing the hits.

Today, “Weird Al” Yankovic announced his Bigger & Weirder Tour, a 65-date North American tour that will take Yankovic to major venues next summer. He'll go everywhere: Alaska! Wyoming! Multiple shows in Idaho! A press release promises the shows will feature Yankovic's “giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring Al's original band,” as well as “some fan favorites that have never been performed live.” His opening act is Puddles Pity Party, a Pagliacci-inspired 6-foot-tall clown act that once went viral for a cover of Lorde's “Royals.”

In a press release, Yankovic himself says: “This is a kind of 'Best of Both Worlds' tour. We'll play all the big, crowd-pleasing parodies, as well as some deeper songs for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many musicians on stage, everything will sound twice as good!” You can find the dates below.
