Earlier this year, 'Weird Al' Yankovic embarked on a stripped down tour, but next year is going to be quite different from that experience. The parody musician has just revealed a massive 2019 North American tour, this time featuring a symphony orchestra at each stop on a run he promises will be his "most full-blown, over-the-top extravaganza ever."

The tour, dubbed "Strings Attached," begins on June 5 in Clearwater, Fla. and finishes up three months later on Sept. 1 in Little Rock, Ark. You can view the full list of dates below and tickets will go on sale this Friday (Nov. 16) at 10AM local time.

"Not only are we bringing back the costumes and the props and the big video screen, but also… every single night we’ll be performing with a full symphony orchestra. For real. No, we’re not cramming an orchestra on our bus – it’ll be a different orchestra in every city. Sometimes it will be a 'branded' local orchestra (like, say, the Colorado Symphony), and other times we’ll basically just be putting together our own orchestra with local musicians," stated 'Weird Al' on Instagram in a post previewing the tour.

"And yes, we’re back to playing the hits… but we’ll also throw in a few deeps cuts too (including a couple songs that we’ve never played before – not even on the Ill-Advised Vanity Tour!)," he confirmed.
