Weird Al Yankovic has officially announced his upcoming “Bigger & Weirder Tour,” set to take place across North America from June to September 2025, featuring special guest Puddles Pity Party. The tour will include four performances in New York early on, starting with a show at Buffalo’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on July 11. Following that, he will perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 12, at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel on July 13, and at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs on July 17.
Yankovic promises an extravagant experience this time around. In a recent Instagram post, the 64-year-old musician stated, “We’re back to doing a full-production high-energy show and playing the hits… and we’re super-sizing the band for this one – adding four more musicians! – to play a few things we’ve never been able to play live before!” He expressed great excitement, calling the show, “INSANE!”
Currently, there is no news regarding a new album from Yankovic. His most recent release was “Polkamania!” in July, which creatively reinterprets songs by notable artists including Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift as polka music.
Tickets for the “Bigger & Weirder” shows can be purchased through platforms such as Vivid Seats, with the official on-sale beginning on Friday, September 27. Vivid Seats operates as a secondary market ticketing platform, where prices may fluctuate based on demand. They also offer a 100% buyer guarantee for secure transactions and timely delivery before events.
Weird Al’s tour schedule for 2025 features a complete list of dates, venues, and links for purchasing tickets. His show set list tends to vary, but a glimpse into his most recent performance in Kahului, HI, includes memorable hits like “Fun Zone,” “Amish Paradise,” and an encore that featured unique mash-ups and covers.
In addition to his upcoming tour, Weird Al released two singles this past July, including “Polkamania!” and “Deja Vu (But Worse),” the latter of which includes references to politicians like President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
