“Weird Al” Yankovic is returning to the Bryce Jordan Center for the first time in more than 26 years.
The comedy music legend will bring his “Bigger & Weirder” tour to the Penn State arena for a 7:30 p.m. show on Oct. 11, 2026. It’s one of 90 new dates for Yankovic’s massive 2026 tour announced on Monday.
He will be joined by Puddles Pity Party, the stage name of singer and entertainer Michael Geier, who dresses as a clown and performs covers of popular music.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster. Several presales will take place Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yankovic’s “Bigger & Weirder” tour features a multimedia comedy rock show with the five-time Grammy winner “playing his iconic hits as well as some never-performed-live-before fan favorites,” according to a release. His “long-time band is joined by four additional players to create a super-sized concert experience.”
The biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history, Yankovic is best known for his polka pastiches and parodies of songs by genre-spanning artists over more than 40 years — such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Queen, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, to name a few.
His 2014 album, “Mandatory Fun” is the only comedy album ever to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.
Yankovic last performed at the Bryce Jordan Center in November 1999.
