“Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the desert next summer.

The biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history will embark on his Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour, which will visit Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix on Aug. 31.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27 at ticketmaster.com.

After two world tours in smaller venues with scaled-down, intimate shows featuring his original songs, “Weird Al” 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. Shows will include a giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an eight-piece ensemble featuring Al’s original band.

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” Yankovic explained in a press release. “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 seven-foot sad clown.

“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).
