Weird Al Yankovic Announces 'Mandatory' World Tour Dates [SCHEDULE]

Weird Al Yankovic just announced the largest new tour of 2015. His Mandatory trek will span nearly five months on the road, beginning May 12 in Las Vegas.

Apparently, he's already getting complaints from fans about not hitting up certain areas of the world. So he addressed peoples' concerns on his Facebook page, deflecting the blame onto concert promoters.

"I basically have NO CONTROL over where I play," he wrote. "There's no reason to thank me if I'm playing your city, and there's REALLY no reason to get mad at me if I'm not. I don't decide what city I play, or what venue I play, or what day I play."

He did mention that more cities could be added to the docket, though.

"All I can say is, please be patient... don't give up hope quite yet... there are still a few more 2015 tour dates to be announced," he wrote.
