"Weird Al" Yankovic Live

“Weird Al” Yankovic

June 29, 2025
418 Sheridan Road, Highland Park, IL 60035, United States

“Weird Al” Yankovic, king of parody music, is bringing his Bigger and Weirder tour to Highland Park, Illinois. You may have heard of “Amish Paradise” or “Party In The CIA.” Yankovic takes beloved songs and changes the lyrics to hilarious effect—it’s a form of re-gifting. He has released 15 albums and won five Grammies over the past 42 years, proving his dominance in this niche field of music. Ravinia Pavilion is hosting his full production comedy rock show; his usual band will be there along with four new musicians. Expect the hits and some never-before-heard tunes. Get tickets now. —Henry McGrath
