To be clear, this is an unconfirmed rumor. We don't run with a full "BREAKING" news report until there are two sources, and this particular one was second-hand. I can report that the second-hand source in this case claims to have heard about May as the start of the tour directly from Al...

Not that it should matter, but I voted for May in the poll when it was first posted.

I didn't really know anything then, although we do have a (tentative) start date now. :)

Cool! I get to go to WrestleMania now at the end of March. Been putting it off since I figured the tour would start then!

Nice. How young is too young for a Weird Al concert? I'll have someone to initiate by then... :P

I'd say someone who's might cry uncontrolably/smurf pants/crawl on other people's laps/make a lot of noise/otherwise ruin the concert for other people. As soon as they're old enough to perceive a concept of discipline, they're good to go.

Yeah, like Al says, he is pretty much a family friendly show, other than some cartoon violence. I say that if they are mature enough to sit through a concert, they are old enough to see Weird Al!

We've had very young children at the shows, like, babies less than a year old! I think 4 or 5 is the age where a child goes from being overwhelmed by the sound and lights and rabid fans, to understanding more lyrics, and appreciating and enjoying the show (and in turn, finding their inner rabid fan!)

Interesting, the May tally on the poll is at 27%... maybe it's an omen?
