On Saturday, July 12, 2025, “Weird Al” Yankovic brought his Bigger & Weirder 2025 tour to Madison Square Garden in New York City. The sold out show featured an opening set by Puddles Pity Party and was the first time Yankovic headlined MSG. He took in a moment to look at the crowd, bask in their applause and remarked that he needed just 149 more shows there to tie with Billy Joel.

I was thrilled to be able to cover this show for BrooklynVegan and many more images are now available on their website. I grew up listening to Weird Al’s music and watching his videos but never saw him perform live prior to Saturday night.
