“Weird Al” Yankovic: Unfortunate Return of the Ill-Advised Vanity Tour

The greatest of guilty musical pleasures returns with his trusty accordion in tow.

Almost four years after his first foray into unfamiliar concert territory with his highly-acclaimed Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, “Weird Al” Yankovic is pressing his luck again, this time with The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour. The tour marks Weird Al’s long-anticipated return to the concert stage after his hugely successful Strings Attached Tour in 2019, where he performed each night alongside a full symphony orchestra.

Once again drawing from his back catalogue of 14 studio albums, Weird Al promises to deliver a different set list every night, with no two shows the same. As before, rather than focusing on the hits from his career, the show will feature Yankovic’s non-parody material: the somewhat more obscure pastiches and original songs that have largely escaped the pop culture radar but are adored by his long-time fans.

Veteran comedian Emo Philips opens the night.
