Weird Al Yankovic Announces Fresno Stop on Major 2026 Tour

Weird Al Yankovic will stop at Fresno’s Save Mart Center on September 12, 2026 as part of his Bigger & Weirder 2026 Tour, the artist’s announced schedule shows. The tour is slated to cover 90 cities across North America and promises a super sized multimedia comedy rock show featuring iconic parodies, high energy originals, new live debuts and an expanded stage production.

The announcement follows a busy 2025 tour that included 75 shows across 67 cities and drew more than 500,000 fans. That run sold out major venues including Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and The Kia Forum, implying strong national demand. Simple arithmetic from the 2025 totals yields an average attendance near 6,667 fans per show, a benchmark local planners can use when estimating potential audience size for the Fresno date.

Production details for the 2026 tour indicate a larger footprint on stage. Yankovic’s original band will be joined by four additional players. Multiple costume changes and a giant video wall are part of the plan, suggesting higher production costs and a more elaborate visitor experience that often correlates with greater per attendee spending on concessions, merchandise and parking.

Tickets went on sale Friday, November 21, with online sales at Ticketmaster and box office sales at the Save Mart Center. Fresno event organizers, hospitality operators and transit officials should anticipate increased hotel bookings, restaurant demand and venue related traffic for the concert evening. Large touring acts typically concentrate economic activity into a narrow time window, creating a measurable boost for local retail and lodging receipts while also increasing short term demands on public safety and infrastructure.

For regional context, the tour kicks off May 26, 2026 in Hollywood, Florida and runs through October 17, 2026. Yankovic’s long career includes five Grammy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and hits such as Amish Paradise, Eat It and White & Nerdy provide the familiarity that often drives both ticket sales and out of town attendance. Fresno stakeholders have several months to coordinate logistics, promotional opportunities and municipal services ahead of the September date.
