“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” Yankovic said in a press release. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!”
Following the 2022's stripped down "The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-Advised Vanity" Tour, Weird Al Yankovic's upcoming tour will be a MASSIVE upgrade. The venues are bigger, production is on a massive scale, costume changes will keep you at the edge of your seats all night, and the BEST of both worlds in Weird Al's discography.
Witness the "White & Nerdy" performer LIVE on stage as he performs the BEST of the BEST, which includes his latest offering and his first song in a decade, "Polkamania!". Blitz through accordion-laced polka song parodies of some of the biggest artists in the last 10 years, including Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Nas X, to name a few.
You can also expect the 5-time Grammy Award winner's classic albums such as 2014's 'Mandatory Fun,' the only comedy album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and other hits such as "Amish Paradise," "Eat It," "Like a Surgeon," "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Word Crimes." Other fan favorites will be making its live debut in the super-sized concert as well so you better not miss this tour!
While you warm up your seats, Puddles Pity Party, touted as life-affirming by Herald and hysterically funny by LA Weekly, will get you and your family and friends roaring with laughter. The "sad clown with the golden voice" will harness his unique melancholic vocals to make you cry with tear-jerking bravura AND cry from the hilarity. Expect fan-favorite tracks from his debut album as Puddles Pity Party, 'Live at Joe's Pub' to his latest album released in 2021, 'Songs That Got Me Through the Plague.'
