Weird Al Yankovik

For the first time in six years, fans will have a chance to hear Weird Al Yankovic’s pop parodies live during the “Bigger and Weirder 2025 Tour.” The tour will begin on June 13th with five shows at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale today.

Yankovic will be stopping at some of the biggest venues of his career for this tour, including New York’s Madison Square Garden and LA’s Kia Forum. In addition to his classic pop parodies, Yankovic will be performing originals and will have an eight piece band composed of players throughout Weird Al’s Career. This tour will also feature “first time live” versions of his parodies.

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” said Yankovic. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans. But with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good.”

The Cure

Yesterday welcomed a new song into the world, A Cure song, the first new song in six years. Called “Alone,” arrived yesterday at 7am, part of the forthcoming album “Songs of a lost world.” The roll up to the song and album had been one of fits and starts, teases and mystery. But a recent social media roll out of social media logos and postcards with words visible under a blacklight.

Two songs off the album, “And Nothing Is Forever” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye,” are set for release on a live single this November.

Wolfgang Asmodeus Mozart

A German library has uncovered a previously unknown composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This composition came from his teenaged years, when we was widely known as a child prodigy. The piece contains seven miniature movements for a string trio. It was found as a copy from about 1780, perhaps written twenty years younger.
