Concert by Dweezil Zappa performing his father Frank Zappa's music on the DZ20: Like Father, Like Son tour at the Paramount Theatre.
Dweezil Zappa brings his DZ20: Like Father, Like Son tour to the Paramount Theatre on Monday, October 26, 2026. It's a stop on a run that's been taking him across the country, and this one lands right here in Denver.
If you're not already familiar with the name, Dweezil Zappa is the son of Frank Zappa, and that's exactly where the Like Father, Like Son title comes from. For years, he's built his career around performing his father's music, and this tour is a continuation of that. The set is built around Frank Zappa's catalog—the complex arrangements, the shifting time signatures, and the guitar work that defined the Zappa sound. It's a full-band production, not a solo act, so you'll hear those songs played out with a whole group behind him.
Because the Zappa catalog is so vast, the setlist usually pulls from different eras. You'll likely hear the more recognizable pieces alongside the deeper cuts, the kind of stuff that keeps the music feeling like a live performance rather than a greatest hits record. It's a high-energy show, and since it's part of a touring run, it's a good chance to catch it without having to travel to a major festival.
