“Weird Al” Yankovic Announces 2022 North American

Parody wiz “Weird Al” Yankovic has announced dates for his 2022 North American tour. The trek kicks off April 16th in Poughkeepsie, New York, and wraps up October 29th in New York.

“Weird Al” is doing things a little differently this time around. “Please note: this is a scaled-down tour with limited production (no costumes, props, or video screens) in smaller theatres and more intimate settings, and Al’s setlist will be comprised almost entirely of his original (non-parody) songs,” a press release says.

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 10th at 10 AM local time. Check out all the dates below.
