"Weird Al" Yankovich will play at Blizzcon 2016

Blizzcon 2016 is just around the corner, and staying true to tradition, they've just revealed which artist will be playing at the event, and this year it's none other than the always satirical "Weird Al" Yankovich, who will close out the ceremony on November 5 in what is being described as an "epic multimedia rock and comedy live show".

While regular tickets to the show in Anaheim, California have been sold out, you can still witness the concert, and a ton of other Blizzard related content for that matter, by purchasing a virtual ticket to the show.

Yankovich has released 14 studio albums, and is primarily known for satirical treatments of known pop songs such as "Eat It" and "Amish Paradise".

"We're super excited to close out our tenth BlizzCon with a performance from an epic showman—and fellow geek. Weird Al has entertained millions of people around the world with his hilarious music, and we're thrilled that he's bringing mandatory fun to the show and everyone following along with a Virtual Ticket," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment.
