“Weird Al” Yankovic, the ultimate parody animal, is about to bring his special brand of music and comedy to Elmont’s UBS Arena next summer.

The man behind such pop and rock send-ups as “I Lost on Jeopardy,” “Like a Surgeon” and “Eat It” will bring the 2026 edition of his “Bigger and Weirder” tour to the Belmont Park venue on July 11. Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at weirdal.com.

UBS Arena is just one of 90 stops on the tour, which also hits PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on July 12. Yankovic has also been touring with “Bigger and Weirder” throughout this year, including a July show at Madison Square Garden with special guest Puddles Pity Party.

Yankovic, 66, has been the king of pop song parodies ever since “Another One Rides the Bus,” his 1980 spoof of Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” became a hit after it was played on radio’s “The Dr. Demento Show.”

It’s been 11 years since Yankovic released his last album, “Mandatory Fun,” which featured such humorous tracks as “Foil” (a spoof of Lorde’s “Royals”), “Word Crimes” (his take on Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”) and “Tacky,” to the tune of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.”
