Weird Al announces his 2019 tour will include orchestras

"Weird Al" Yankovic announced this morning that he'll be touring in 2019 with a full symphony orchestra, well, several full symphony orchestras.

He explains*:

Two weeks from today Monday, Nov. 12 well be announcing the dates for my 2019 tour, which were calling Strings Attached.

Were going directly from my most scaled-down, low-key show ever (this years Ridiculously Ill-Advised Vanity Tour) to my most full-blown, over-the-top extravaganza ever. Not only are we bringing back the costumes and the props and the big video screen, but also every single night well be performing with a FULL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. For real. No, were not cramming an orchestra on our bus itll be a different orchestra in every city. Sometimes it will be a branded local orchestra (like, say, the Colorado Symphony), and other times well basically just be putting together our own orchestra with local musicians.

And yes, were back to PLAYING THE HITS but well also throw in a few deeps cuts too (including a couple songs that weve never played before not even on the Ill-Advised Vanity Tour!) Of course itll be the same amazing band as always Jim, Steve, Ruben and Bermuda plus, for the first time ever well be touring with female background singers (Lisa Popeil, Monique Donnelly and Scottie Haskell incredible vocalists who have appeared on many of my studio recordings).

I think its really going to be a special show, and I cant wait to get started!
