The accordion-adorning artist “Weird Al” Yankovic has announced he is extending his Bigger & Weirder Tour into 2026, featuring Puddles Pity Party as special guest through the run of the tour. Produced by Live Nation, the massive 90-city tour traverses North America and kicks off on Tuesday, May 26, in Hollywood, FL and includes his debut performance at Orlando’s Kia Center on Friday, May 29. Tickets go on sale to the general public on  Friday, November 21 at 10 a.m. ET.


Fans can register here now to participate in the Artist pre-sale. The Artist pre-sale runs Tuesday, November 18 at 10 a.m. ET – Thursday, November 20 at 10 p.m. ET. The Kia Center, Live Nation and Ticketmaster pre-sales run concurrently from Wednesday, November 19 at 10 a.m. ET – Thursday, November 20 at 10 a.m. ET. VIP Meet & Greet and Backstage Tour Packages are available for this show. Click here for more information on VIP packages.

 

As with last year’s tour, the setlist will highlight a mix of his iconic hits and deep cut fan favorites, boasting an elaborate production incorporating a giant video wall, multiple costume changes and an expanded eight-piece ensemble featuring Yankovic’s original band, including longtime Brian Wilson bandmate Probyn Gregory. The show featured mega-hits such as “Amish Paradise,” “Fat,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Eat It” and “White Nerdy.”

 

Last year’s run reached more than 500,000 fans and visited some of the largest venues Yankovic has ever played. He managed to accomplish this despite not having released a new album since “Mandatory Fun” (2014), the only comedy album in history to debut at number one and his first LP to reach the Billboard 200. Although he released a new polka medley last year that tackled songs by Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Adele, Lil Nas X and many other contemporary hitmakers, he has not released a standard parody song in over 11 years.
