Weird Al Yankovic at Alliant Energy PowerHouse
Weird Al Yankovic brings his comedy and music to Alliant Energy PowerHouse in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on. This Concerts and Comedy event is a chance to see one of the most enduring performers in comedy music live.
Born Alfred Matthew Yankovic, Weird Al began learning accordion at age seven and started parodying songs in high school. A demo sent to the Dr. Demento radio show helped launch a career spanning more than four decades. He is the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time, with more than 12 million albums sold and five Grammy Awards.
His best-known parodies include “Eat It,” “Amish Paradise,” “White & Nerdy,” “Smells Like Nirvana” and “Word Crimes.” His original songs, including “Dare to Be Stupid” and “Albuquerque,” showcase the musical skill behind the jokes. Mandatory Fun made history by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a first for a comedy artist since 1963.

Weird Al Yankovic Alliant Energy PowerHouse Concert reviews
Aqueous Transmission blew my mind!!!
"We arrived early and caught Weird Al Yankovic warming up, which was pretty cool. Their show kicked off with "Pardon Me", setting a strong start. Surprisingly, during "Aqueous Transmission", they introduced a sitar on stage. I never expected that to be a live performance. Additionally, there was a solo that wasn't part of the original song. The encore featured some older songs I wasn't familiar with. Overall, it was an excellent show and I would definitely attend their next tour. The Duke Spirit, a U.K. band, opened the show. They were decent, but I wouldn't have discovered them otherwise."
