The Strings Attached Tour was a concert tour by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The tour began on June 5, 2019 at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida and ended on September 1, 2019 at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
Background Throughout 2018, Yankovic performed concerts as part of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour. The tour saw Yankovic perform in small theaters and opera houses with sets focusing on his original songs and "style parodies." For the Strings Attached tour, Yankovic and his band performed with female backing singers and an orchestra. The orchestra was either a philharmonic or a collective of local musicians. The tour was announced in October 2018. Yankovic announced the tour dates on November 12, 2018.
Setlist The following setlist was taken from www.weirdal.com. Missing are arguably Yankovic's best-known parodies, "Eat It" and "Fat", both originally from Michael Jackson. Yankovic pulled the songs after the airing of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, in which two men alleged that Jackson sexually abused them as children.
