Weird Al to Launch “Bigger & Weirder” Tour in Las Vegas in 2025
Beyonce and Taylor Swift have enjoyed record-setting tours over the last couple of years, so The King of Parody decided it was his turn. Weird Al Yankovic has announced that he is going back on tour on “The Big Stage” with his new Bigger & Weirder tour.
Shows kick off in June 2025 and will continue through September, with 70 performances in major venues around North America.
His first five shows will be at The Venetian Theatre in fabulous Las Vegas on June 13, 14, 18, 20, and 21. This will kick off an incredible run of 70 shows over three months.
Joining Weird Al on tour will be Puddles Pity Party. Known as “The Sad Clown with the Golden Voice,” he is perhaps best known for his stint on “America’s Got Talent.” Puddles is an internationally touring singer who is currently in the middle of a North American tour.
Fans Can Expect Super-Sized Show
As the title of his show implies, this new tour will indeed be bigger than most anything Weird Al and company have done in the past.
According to a press release on the event, “With his giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring Al’s original band, Weird Al ups the ante on his already legendary show with a new super-sized concert experience.”
….we’re super-sizing the band for this one – adding 4 more musicians! – so we can play a few things we’ve never been able to play live before! And our opening act will be the amazing Puddles Pity Party. This show is gonna be INSANE!
