(CBS DETROIT) – Comedy artist “Weird Al” Yankovic brings his “Bigger & Weirder” 2025 Tour to Pine Knob next July.
The five-time Grammy winner on Monday announced a 63-concert tour for 2025, kicking off June 13 at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas.
Ticket sales start on Friday 27 September at 10am at all Ticketmaster sales points.
“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” Yankovic said in a press release. “We’re going to do all the big, crowd-pleasing parodies, but also a few deep cuts for the hardcore fans — but with twice as many players on stage, everything will sound twice as good!”
Puddles Pity Party, a singer and entertainer described as a “7-foot-tall sad clown,” will open the shows.
In addition to his Pine Knob appearance, Yankovic, who released his first album in 1983, will also perform at the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City on July 1 and in Kalamazoo at the Miller Auditorium on September 17.
The 64-year-old Yankovic is best known for his parodies of artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana and Coolio with songs such as “Eat It”, “Like a Surgeon”, “Smells Like Nirvana” and “Amish Paradise”.
