Weird Al Yankovic Announces 2025 ‘Bigger & Weirder’ Tour: A Summer of Parody and Fun
Renowned parody singer "Weird Al" Yankovic is set to captivate audiences during his highly anticipated 2025 summer tour, titled Bigger & Weirder. Announced on September 23, this exhilarating 65-city tour kicks off with a special five-night residency at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas from June 13 to June 21, 2025. Following that, fans can look forward to stops in major cities including Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Diego, and Phoenix, ultimately concluding on September 20 at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville.
After two years of performing intimate shows featuring his original songs, Weird Al is returning to larger amphitheaters, showcasing a multi-media production that has not been seen in six years. Concertgoers can expect a spectacular experience bursting with his iconic hits and previously unperformed fan favorites. The show will feature a massive video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble that includes Al’s original band. Yankovic promises an unforgettable concert experience, putting a fresh twist on his already legendary performances.
Yankovic, now 64, expressed his excitement, stating, "This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour. We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans." His passion for music and entertaining provides a memorable experience for both casual listeners and avid fans alike. The tour will also feature the mesmerizing opening act, Puddles Pity Party, who is known for his unique and emotional performances.
Earlier this year, Yankovic celebrated a significant milestone with the 10th anniversary of his groundbreaking Mandatory Fun album, which made history as his first-ever LP to ascend to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. In a testament to his enduring creativity, he released his first new song in a decade titled “Polkamania!” — a lively polka medley that showcases snippets of contemporary hits from artists like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lil Nas X.
The complete tour dates include numerous exciting locations. Starting in Las Vegas, fans can enjoy performances at renowned venues such as the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Wolf Trap in Virginia. The tour provides a diverse and inclusive vibe, catering to audiences from coast to coast and celebrating the quirky humor and innovative artistry that only Weird Al can deliver.
Tickets for this much-anticipated tour will go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, September 27. With dates spread from June through September, the Bigger & Weirder tour promises to be a highlight of the summer concert scene and a joyous celebration of music and laughter.
