DWEEZIL ZAPPA DZ20: Like Father, Like Son

Dweezil Zappa marks 20 years of performing and reinterpreting his father Frank Zappa’s music with the DZ20: Like Father, Like Son Tour. The concert explores Frank Zappa’s wide-ranging catalog through rock, jazz, fusion, orchestral, and experimental pieces, combining well-known favorites with deep cuts, rare arrangements, improvisation, humor, and unexpected musical twists.

Led by Dweezil’s guitar playing and joined by his band, the performance is designed as both a tribute to Frank Zappa’s legacy and a continually evolving reinterpretation of it. The program includes more than two hours of music and may feature historic instruments, technically demanding arrangements, and surprises for longtime fans and newcomers. Optional VIP experiences offer pre-show soundcheck access, a live mixing experience, and select side-stage viewing.
