Weird Al Yankovic brings The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Vanity Tour to the Caverns on Friday and Saturday, May 27 and 28.

While many know the artist for his parody songs and his polka mashups, this tour gives the flexible accordionist an opportunity to highlight his original compositions.

Weird Al burst onto the scene over three decades ago and never looked back. On this tour, the world’s foremost musical satirist and five-time Grammy winner foregoes his usual high-octane, big-production show for an intimate evening of music, focusing on non-parody songs from his 14-album catalog. Marking his highly anticipated return to the concert stage after his Strings Attached Tour in 2019—where Weird Al performed each night alongside a full symphony orchestra—these concerts give Weird Al fans an opportunity to get up-close and personal with the legendary performer.

Both shows begin at 8 p.m., with additional guest and pleasingly peculiar standup comic Emo Phillips.

Tickets start at $40. The Caverns is located in Grundy County, Tennessee, about an hour southeast of Murfreesboro.
