This weekend Weird Al makes his way to The Woodlands at the Cynthia Woods Mitchel Pavilion Saturday June 15, 2019.
Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, Weird Al has sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2007), recorded more than 150 parody and original songs, and performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him five Grammy Awards and a further eleven nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and single ("White & Nerdy") were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. His latest album, put out in 2014, Mandatory Fun, became his first number-one album during its debut week.
