Organizers said every performance will feature a different set list drawing from his back catalogue of 14 studio albums. Yankovic and his band will perform his non-parody material consisting of more obscure pastiches and original songs without high-octane theatrics, costumes, props or video screens.

Opening the show each night will be comedian Emo Philips.
