Pop culture icon “Weird Al” Yankovic will head north to Alaska on his upcoming national tour, performing at the Alaska State Fair on Sunday, Aug. 17, at 6 p.m. He is the first act to be announced in the Fair’s 2025 ConocoPhillips Alaska Concert Series.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Sep. 27, at 10 a.m. AKDT at alaskastatefair.org.
“Weird Al” is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time, with classic song and music video parodies such as “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Amish Paradise,” “White & Nerdy” and “Word Crimes,” as well as original (non-parody) material.
Now in his fourth decade as America’s foremost song parodist, Yankovic has been the recipient of numerous awards, including five Grammys® (out of 16 total nominations) and a string of Gold and Platinum albums.
In addition to remaining active as a recording artist, Yankovic has been a staple of film and television and added “New York Times bestselling author” to his resumé in 2011 with the release of his children’s book, When I Grow Up.
