“Weird Al” Yankovic and country music star Bailey Zimmerman both will headline Musikfest 2026.
Yankovic, the biggest-selling comedy recording artist ever, will perform Aug. 4. Zimmerman will perform Aug. 6.
ArtsQuest members can buy tickets for both shows now; tickets go on sale Friday morning for the general public.
Yankovic, a five-time Grammy Award winner, is best known for his parodies of the biggest musical artists over the last four decades, including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Queen, U2 and Lady Gaga. He is on tour with special guest Puddles Pity Party, who will also join him at Musikfest.
Zimmerman, known for songs such as “Fall in Love,” released his latest album, “Different Night Same Rodeo,” in August. His debut album, “Religiously. The Album,” had the biggest streaming debut for a country album ever, according to a festival news release.
Musikfest, which takes place on Bethlehem’s North and South sides, will run July 31 to Aug. 9. It will be the 43rd year for the festival.
A largely rain-free Musikfest last year led to a record-breaking attendance of nearly 1.45 million over the 10-day festival.
