The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour

The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour was a concert tour hosted by American musician and satirist "Weird Al" Yankovic. The tour was a follow-up to the format of Yankovic's 2018 Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour. To that end, his website stated that the tour would consist mostly of his original, non-parody songs. The tour began on April 26, 2022, at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie, United States, and concluded on March 26, 2023, at the Castle Theater in Kahului, United States.

Background edit

The tour was announced on December 3, 2021.[1][2] Yankovic had stated that the tour would be "scaled down with limited production in smaller theatres and intimate settings", as well as stating that he would be performing his original non-parody songs, exclaiming that the 2018 tour was the most fun he ever had and wanted to do it again.[3] Emo Philips was also announced as the opening act for the tour, which he had previously been on Yankovic's 2018 tour.[4] On May 18, 2022, Yankovic postponed his performances in Saginaw, Detroit, Nashville and Springfield after testing positive for COVID-19.[5]
