In the course of his 2025 tour, “Weird Al” Yankovic hit more than 75 shows in 67 cities in North America, including everything from sell-outs in Madison Square Garden to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, but it turns out that this was merely a warm up for the Weird One. The 66-year-old comedy and musical icon will return in 2026 with an even larger iteration of his BIGGER & WEIRDER tour, hitting 90 cities across North America, in a “super-sized comedy-rock spectacle.” Said tour will kick off on May 26, 2026 at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL, and continues across most of the continent almost every night thereafter, until Oct. 17, 2026. Tickets will be available at the official tour site, beginning Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. local time. Stephen King will no doubt be glad to note that Yankovic is playing his home of Bangor, Maine.
“We did 75 shows this year, and the fans weren’t sick of us yet,” said Yankovic in a short statement. “So we’re just going to keep on touring until they are!”
Yankovic and co. dropped the tour announcement with the amusing video embedded below, which begins with a backstage premise that feels evocative of Dewey Cox lingering and recalling his life in Walk Hard, while including a cameo from frequent Paste recording star Puddles Pity Party, given that a 7-foot clown is always sort of hard to miss. The Yankovic announce video, however, then morphs into what feels like a Lynchian nightmare before it rapidly segues into an Empire Strikes Back parody, with the singer’s iconic curly mane being lowered onto his head like Darth Vader’s helmet. It turns out that what Yankovic really needs to get show-ready is … boysenberry donuts?
Yankovic has remained a force in recent years as a touring performer, even though it’s now been 11 years since the release of his last studio album, 2014’s Mandatory Fun. With that said, the 2022 release of the Daniel Radcliffe-starring Weird: The Al Yankovic Story couldn’t help but put the spotlight back on the great parody innovator, leading directly into his still-prolific touring schedule. Check out the announcement video below, and then the massive roster of tour.
