The outing will hit 65 cities in North America with support from the world's saddest clown, Puddles Pity Party.
“Weird Al” Yankovic is gearing up for a huge 2025 tour that will keep him on the road all summer long for the Bigger & Weirder tour. The parody singing icon announced the dates for the 65-city tour on Monday (Sept. 23), revealing that he’ll kick it off with a five-night run at the Venetian Theatre at the Venetian Resort (from June 13-June 21), followed by stops in Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Diego and Phoenix before winding down with a Sept. 20 gig at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville.
According to a release, after two world tours playing his original songs in intimate venues, Al will be back in amphitheaters with his full, multi-media production for the first time in six years, “playing his iconic hits as well as some fan favorites which have never been performed live. With his giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring Al’s original band, Weird Al ups the ante on his already legendary show with a new super-sized concert experience.”
In a statement, Al, 64, said, “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 – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!” The “White & Nerdy” singer will bring along opening act sad clown crooner Puddles Pity Party for the tour whose public onsale will begin at 10 a.m. local time on Friday (Sept. 27).
