“Weird Al” Yankovic, who is known for his comedy parody songs like “Eat It,” “White & Nerdy” and “Like A Surgeon,” is returning June 23 to Madison’s Overture Center for the Arts as part of his Strings Attached Tour.

According to a release, the tour will feature rock and comedy, with costumes, props, a video wall and a full orchestra, a first for Yankovic.

Yankovic recently toured in 2018 with an intimate, scaled-down show with some of his semi-obscure, non-parody album tracks. In 2019, he will be playing his hits and classics but will be supported by background singers and an entire symphony orchestra.

“I wanted to follow up my most bare-bones tour ever with my most elaborate and extravagant tour ever. We’re pulling out all the stops for this one,” Yankovic said.

Ticket go on sale Nov. 16 at 11 a.m.
