While we just officially welcomed the start of autumn, it’s time to start making plans for next summer. Wolf Trap announced that “Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his upcoming summer tour to the outdoor pavilion.
On Sunday, July 20, 2025, the Filene Center hosts the parodist for a performance full of laughs. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. for the Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour, with the show slated to start at 8 p.m.
The five-time Grammy Award–winner is best known for his parodies of some of the biggest hits over the last four decades, including “Amish Paradise” (parody of Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”), “Polka Face” (parody of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”), and “Eat It” (parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”). His last album, Mandatory Fun, became the first comedy album to debut No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.
Puddles Pity Party opens for Yankovic. The 7-foot-tall clown has over 900,000 YouTube subscribers and has performed with Nick Offerman, Jack Black, and other Hollywood legends.
Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 27 and start at $49 per ticket. Wolf Trap members can buy tickets now.
