It’s getting weird in here.

Weird Al Yankovic is coming back to Medicine Hat next year for a June 3 show at the Esplanade.

The poster for Yankovic’s show bills it as ‘The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour” and advertises no frills, obscure songs and limited commercial appeal and advises people to lower their expectations.There’s a certain tongue-in-cheekness to the poster but the show will not be the high-octane, big production show Yankovc normally tours. This one will be an intimate evening that focuses on original, non-parody songs.

Yankovic is to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018.

A VIP presale begins Wednesday before regular tickets, $75 plus service charge and GST, go on sale on Oct. 20. Tickets will be available at http://www.tixx.ca by calling 403-502-8777 or in person at the Esplanade box office or the Medicine Hat Mall customer service desk.
