The legendary “Weird Al” Yankovic returned to the NPR Tiny Desk Concert stage for a special performance, following his first appearance in 2010. The lively set features “Skipper Dan” from 2011’s Alpocalypse, his Backstreet Boys parody “eBay,” the blues-rock closing-credits jam “Now You Know” from Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and his Star Wars parody of Don McLean’s “American Pie,” “The Saga Begins.” Check out the awesomeness below!
Yankovic is currently on his record-breaking BIGGER & WEIRDER Tour. Hitting a massive 165 cities across North America, the show features his celebrated hits and deep-cut fan favorites, a giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble spotlighting Al’s original band. The 2026 tour pushes his live show to new heights – a super-sized comedy-rock spectacle. The BIGGER & WEIRDER 2026 Tour runs across North America through October 17. Tickets and full routing is available here.
Weird Al’s Tiny Desk concert is performed with his full band from the BIGGER & WEIRDER Tour.
Weird Al recently released on his boutique label Way Moby the classic comedy UHF’s brilliant, genre-hopping score by Grammy-winner and Tony-nominee composer John Du Prez (A Fish Called Wanda, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Monty Python’s Spamalot) exclusively for fans that pre-ordered the set. UHF – The Official Score Soundtrack is a premium 2-disc vinyl set housed in a custom-designed, heavy-duty die-cut slip case.
Alongside the release, Yankovic is bringing UHF back to the big screen for one night only at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 31. For the first time ever, the film’s original score will be performed live on stage by a full orchestra, conducted by John Du Prez, followed by a live, in-person Q&A with “Weird Al” Yankovic and special guests. Information for this once-in-a-lifetime event can be found at weirdal.com.
