The Ford Amphitheater is set to kick off a star-studded September with a longtime musical satirist and a multiple Grammy Award-winning rock band.

‘Weird Al’ Yankovic

“Weird Al” Yankovic, who has been honing his signature brand of musical parody for more than four decades, is coming to Colorado Springs.

Yankovic, whose 1979 parody song “My Bologna” launched a career that has featured more than 12 million albums sold, is bringing his “Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour” to the amphitheater on Thursday, along with special guest Puddles Pity Party, a 7-foot singing clown.

Over his decades-long career, Yankovic has parodied dozens of artists across a broad spectrum of genres, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, Queen, Eminem, Coolio and Lady Gaga.

Puddles Pity Party (birth name: Michael Geier) has been performing since the late 1990s and has appeared on several television shows, including the 2017 season of “America’s Got Talent” and a 2022 episode of “The Conners.”

Train with Edwin McCain

On Saturday, the Grammy-winning rock band Train will be performing with special guest Edwin McCain.

The San Francisco-based band is best known for “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and the multiplatinum hit “Hey Soul Sister.” The band has undergone a number of lineup changes since forming in 1994; lead singer Pat Monahan is the only original member.

McCain, a singer-songwriter and guitarist from South Carolina, has released 11 albums, five of which have reached the Billboard 200. His songs “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask for More” were Top 40 radio hits.
