Zappa Plays Zappa comes to the UK this summer.
Zappa Plays Zappa features Dweezil Zappa, Frank's eldest son, on lead guitar accompanied by a host of hand-picked young musical talents.
Dweezil and his band bring his father's musical legacy to life on stage, the only official act to do so since Frank Zappa's death in 1993.
Zappa Plays Zappa will perform a career spanning selection of Zappa's work, including "Bobby Brown (Goes Down)", "Peaches en Regalia" and "Willy the Pimp".
The UK tour sees Dweezil Zappa follow in his father's footsteps, Dweezil said, "We're bringing my father's music to new generations of music lovers, as well as long-standing Zappa fans."
Dweezil and co have been playing the music of Frank Zappa to audiences worldwide since 2006, receiving rave reviews as they go.
In 2009, Zappa Plays Zappa were awarded a Grammy award for best rock instrumental performance for their performance of "Peaches en Regalia".
