Photos by Killian Young
“Weird Al” Yankovic has been touring across the country as a part of “the Strings Attached” tour, which included a big-time performance this past Saturday (July 20) at Forest Hills Stadium. Not only was his trusty backing band with him, but the entire show saw him backed by The Queens Symphony Orchestra giving his iconic parody songs a completely new twist in the live format. The last time we saw Yankovic was when he performed at The Capitol Theatre back in 2015.
Our photographer Killian Young was there to capture photos from his performance, including many of the costume changes that occurred throughout the night. Find all of his shots posted in the photo gallery below, along with the setlist.
