The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour
The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour is an ongoing concert tour hosted by American musician and satirist "Weird Al" Yankovic. The tour is a follow-up to the format of Yankovic's 2018 Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour. To that end, his website states that the tour will consist mostly of his original, non-parody songs. The tour began on April 26, 2022 at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie, United States, and is scheduled to end on March 21, 2023 at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane, Australia.

Background
The tour was announced on December 3, 2021.[1][2] Yankovic had stated that the tour will be "scaled down with limited production in smaller theatres and intimate settings", as well as stating that he will be performing his original non-parody songs, exclaiming that the 2018 tour was the most fun he ever had and wanted to do it again.[3] Emo Philips was also announced as the opening act for the tour, which he had previously been on Yankovic's 2018 tour.[4] On May 18, 2022, Yankovic postponed his performances in Saginaw, Detroit, Nashville and Springfield after testing positive for COVID-19.[5]
