Weird Al Yankovic lost the unlikely bid -- via one fan's drunkenly written petition -- to Katy Perry to perform at this year's Super Bowl halftime show, but fans will get the chance to see him perform at the Governors Ball in June.

The veteran funny man is among the artists announced Wednesday to perform at the Randall's Island music festival, which will be headlined by Drake, The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Deadmau5 and Florence and the Machine. Check out the full lineup, below.

Weird Al shot back into the spotlight last year with his #8videos8days stunt, which gave fans eight parody music videos in just as many days. The stunt helped his 14th studio album, Mandatory Fun, debut at No. 1. He followed that with a performance at the Emmys.

General admission and VIP tickets for the festival are available for $260 to $2,000.
