“Weird Al” Yankovic spent much of 2025 taking his Bigger & Weirder Tour to large halls all across North America, but it turns out that was only the beginning. He’s coming back next year for another 90 shows. It kicks off May 26 in Miami and wraps up Oct. 17 in Milwaukee. Along the way, he’s hitting practically every territory in the United States — from Pikeville, Kentucky to Peoria, Illinois and Saginaw, Michigan, and beyond.
“We did 75 shows this year, and the fans weren’t sick of us yet,” Yankovic said in a statement, “so we’re just going to keep on touring until they are!”
The 2025 Bigger and Weirder Tour was a return to a traditional “Weird Al” show following a couple of runs that focused on fan favorites, deep cuts, and covers. Working with an expanded eight-piece band — including longtime Brian Wilson bandmate Probyn Gregory — the show featured mega-hits like “Amish Paradise,” “Fat,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Eat It,” and “White Nerdy” along with several costume changes.
The tour reached more than 500,000 fans and hit some of the largest venues Yankovic has ever played, including his first show at Madison Square Garden. “Oftentimes really big moments in your life come and go so quickly that you can’t really enjoy them while you’re in them,” he said that night. “Just 149 more [shows], and I’ll be all tied up with Billy Joel.”
He pulled this off even though he hasn’t released a new album since 2014’s Mandatory Fun, which was his first LP to top the Billboard 200. And despite releasing a new polka medley in 2024 that tackled songs by Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Adele, Lil Nas X, and many other contemporary hitmakers in breakneck fashion, he hasn’t released a standard parody song in over 11 years.
“I’m at a point in my life where I feel like I want to just try new things,” he told Rolling Stone in 2024. “I mean, I’ve been following the same formula for four decades, and I want to get more involved in feature films and TV, and I love voice acting. I want to still keep doing music, and I still love touring, obviously. But doing new parodies just … I don’t know. I’m not ruling it out, but it’s just not my focus anymore.”
