TRAVERSE CITY - The National Cherry Festival on Monday announced that Grammy Award-winning artist “Weird Al” Yankovic will perform on the Pepsi Bayside Music Stage presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan on Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
Weird Al is bringing his full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the concert stage as part of his Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour.
After two world tours in smaller venues with scaled-down, intimate shows featuring his original songs, Weird Al now returns to the big stage for the first time in six years, playing his iconic hits as well as some fan favorites that have never been performed live, according to a news release.
“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” explains Yankovic. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!”
The tour will be supported by special guest Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown whose golden voice is “comparable to any Grammy winner” (Los Angeles Times) and has performed sold out shows around the globe.
The Bigger & Weirder tour kicks off June 13, 2025, in Las Vegas, and runs across North America through Sept. 21, 2025.
Tour dates and tickets for all shows are available here, with public sales beginning at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024. You can choose reserved seating priced at $93, general admission at $68 and deck tickets at $193. Tickets also can be bought online at www.cherryfestival.org/weirdal.
