Weird Al Yankovic announces 2025 tour, including Chicago-area stop – NBC Chicago

Legendary musician “Weird” Al Yankovic, known for his offbeat parodies of popular songs, is launching a major new tour in 2025 that will include at least one stop in the Chicago area.

The “Bigger & Weirder” tour starts in Las Vegas in June, but will reach the Midwest by the end of the month.

Yankovic will perform at the Ravinia Festival in suburban Highland Park on Sunday, June 29, 2025, according to his website. Fans interested in purchasing tickets can sign up for notifications when the on-sale date is announced.

The legendary artist will also perform at White River State Park in Indianapolis on July 3 and return to the Midwest on September 12 when he performs in Madison, Wisconsin, Columbus, Ohio and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

There are still several dates left in the tour schedule. Further information will be announced at a later date.

Yankovic recently released a new single called “Polkamania,” which features snippets of songs by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and several others.

Over the years, he has won five Grammy Awards, including Best Comedy Recording for his song “Eat It,” a parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” He also won a Primetime Emmy for his film “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” which starred Daniel Radcliffe and was released to rave reviews.

His latest album, “Mandatory Fun,” was released in July 2014 and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 200, his first album to top that chart.
