Weird Al is stopping in Arizona during his 2025 tour.

PHOENIX — It's time to get weird, Phoenix — Weird Al Yankovic, that is! The artist you know and love is coming to Arizona during his "Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour."

The show will be a full-production multimedia comedy rock show, according to a news release. 

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” Yankovic said in a news 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!”

This will be Yankovic's first tour in six years. He'll be playing iconic hits and some fan favorites that have never been performed live before.

Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown "whose golden voice is comparable to any Grammy winner" will be joining the tour too. 

Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. A pop culture icon, he is known around the world for his parodies of mega hits by artists of the last four decades.

Also an accomplished actor, writer, director and producer, Yankovic was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, and an Emmy Award for the 2022 release WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic.

Yankovic will kick off his tour in Las Vegas on June 13, 2025 and be in Phoenix Aug. 31. Tickets to see Yankovic live will be on sale starting at 10 a.m. on Sep. 27 on TicketMaster.
