After taking his “Bigger & Weirder 2025” tour to 67 cities including Columbus, “Weird Al” Yankovic will bring an even bigger, weirder show to the Ohio State Fair next summer.
The first performer to be announced in the fair’s lineup, “Weird Al” will play his much-loved hits as well as deep cut fan favorites, accompanied by an eight-piece ensemble on Aug. 5.
Tickets will cost $62 and $52 and are scheduled to go on sale in February. Concert tickets purchased in advance will include admission to the fair, which will run July 29-Aug. 9.
Don’t let the suit fool ya – he’s still as weird as ever. Parody and polka ace “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Bigger & Weirder 2026” tour will stop at the Ohio State Fair on Aug. 5. Tickets are slated to go on sale in February.
Special guest Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown with the velvety baritone, will join the show.
The biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history, “Weird Al” is famous for his spot-on send-ups of some of music’s most notable artists over the last four decades.
The five-time Grammy winner also produced and co-wrote the Emmy-winning satirical biopic, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” featuring Daniel Radcliffe in the titular role.
During his stop at the Palace Theatre in September, “Weird Al” made an appearance at local restaurant Pierogi Mountain.
Additional Ohio State Fair concert announcements will be released in the winter. For more information, visit ohiostatefair.com.
