“Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the concert stage with the “BIGGER & WEIRDER 2025 Tour.” After two world tours in smaller venues with scaled-down, intimate shows featuring his original songs, “Weird Al” now returns to the big stage for the first time in six years, playing his iconic hits as well as some fan favorites that have never been performed live. With his giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring his original band, “Weird Al” ups the ante on his already legendary show with a new, super-sized concert experience.

“Weird Al’s” “BIGGER & WEIRDER 2025 Tour” will make a stop at Darien Lake Amphitheater in Darien Center on July 11, 2025.

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” “Weird Al” explained. “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 tour will be supported by special guest Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown whose golden voice is “comparable to any Grammy winner” (Los Angeles Times) and has performed sold-out shows around the globe.

“BIGGER & WEIRDER” kicks off Friday, June 13, with a week of shows at The Venetian in Las Vegas, and runs across North America through Sept. 21. Tour dates and tickets, starting at $29.50, are available here, with public on-sale beginning at 10 am Friday, Sept. 27.

Earlier this year, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of his No. 1 album, “Mandatory Fun,” “Weird Al” released his new single and video “Polkamania!” It’s a medley of some of the biggest and most memorable songs of the past decade by artists such as Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Adele and Taylor Swift. “Weird Al” recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of his cult classic film, “UHF,” with a new 4K/UHD/Blu-ray release with bonus features.

"Weird Al" is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. A pop culture icon, he is known around the world for his parodies of mega hits by artists of the past four decades including Madonna, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, Usher, Nirvana, Eminem, Queen and Lady Gaga. His numerous hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the Platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.” “Weird Al” has received five Grammy awards and 17 career nominations, and is one of only three artists to chart in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the previous four consecutive decades (the others being Madonna and Michael Jackson).

His recent album, “Mandatory Fun,” is the only comedy album in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Also an accomplished actor, writer, director and producer, “Weird Al” was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, and an Emmy Award for the 2022 release “WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story” (starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic). “Weird Al’s” live shows have entertained audiences across the globe for generations, including appearances at such iconic venues as Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.
