"Weird Al" Yankovic Bringing "Super-Sized" Concert to Minnesota

The iconic "Weird Al" Yankovic is bringing his hilarious brand of musical parodies and originals to Minnesota on a new "super-sized" tour.

"Weird Al" has been making people laugh with his clever song parodies for over four decades. He got his start back in the late '70s, recording funny songs on his accordion in his dorm room.

The King of Parodies

In 1984, Yankovic released "Eat It," a parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It," which became a massive hit and cemented him as the king of musical comedy. Over the years, he's taken on artists like Madonna, Coolio, Nirvana, and even Lady Gaga.

Yankovic did a string of shows in Minnesota back in 2022 on his 'The Unfortunate Return Of The Ridiculously Self-indulgent, Ill-advised Vanity Tour', with stops in Minneapolis, Mankato, and Duluth. That tour featured a scaled down show with more of his original songs versus his parody hits in smaller venues.
