Alaska State Fair adds 2nd show for ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic

The Alaska State Fair has added a second performance by “Weird Al” Yankovic to its 2025 schedule.

Yankovic was initially scheduled to perform Sunday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. But that show has sold out and the fair has added a second, earlier show at 2 p.m. that day. Tickets for that concert will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and are available at alaskastatefair.org.

Yankovic is well known for parody songs like “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon” and “Amish Paradise” and was the first 2025 main stage performer announced by the fair.

He has been joined on the concert bill by Foreigner, which the fair announced last week will be performing in Palmer as a stop on its farewell tour.
