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. [1]

Tour

The concept is controversial [2], with some Zappa fans argueing that Zappa himself would never have approved this. Dweezil Zappa declined any participation. [3] 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.” [4] 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." [5]

Ticketmaster censored the tour promotion poster because of imagery referencing the song Penguin In Bondage. [6]
