'''The Bizarre World of Frank Zappa''' is an official 2019 tour which features former band members of the Mothers of Invention performing in combination with a hologram image of Zappa. The hologram footage was taken from unreleased footage from a 1974 L.A. concert and was put together by Eyellusion and [[Ahmet Zappa]]. <ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/markbeech/2019/04/27/frank-zappa-follows-michael-jackson-tupac-with-hologram-comeback-after-death/#4504be3356da</ref>

==Tour==

The concept is controversial <ref>https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/details-of-bizarre-world-of-frank-zappa-hologram-tour-announced</ref>, with some Zappa fans argueing that Zappa himself would never have approved this. [[Dweezil Zappa]] declined any participation. <ref>https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/details-of-bizarre-world-of-frank-zappa-hologram-tour-announced</ref> Ahmet Zappa on the other hand claimed: ''“My father and I actively discussed 3D and ‘holography’ and it was a concept he actively engaged in,” Ahmet said in a statement. “He actually devoted half a chapter of his The Real Frank Zappa Book to this subject. On a personal note, I feel like I am finishing something my father started years ago.”'' <ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/markbeech/2019/04/27/frank-zappa-follows-michael-jackson-tupac-with-hologram-comeback-after-death/#4504be3356da</ref> In fact, Zappa even discussed holograms in an interview used during the tour and in the promo clip. Ahmet Zappa: ''"It's fascinating how into holograms my dad was. It's unbelievable that we have Frank in his own words talking about it."'' <ref>https://ultimateclassicrock.com/frank-zappa-hologram-tour-2/</ref>

Ticketmaster censored the tour promotion poster because of imagery referencing the song ''[[Penguin In Bondage]]''. <ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/frank-zappa-hologram-tour-promo-802053/</ref>
