The Zappa Family Trust released a video teaser for the 2019 Frank Zappa hologram tour, which is set to feature former colleagues performing alongside the projection. Guest stars like Steve Vai are also participating.

The hologram was created by Eyellusion, which also created the Ronnie James Dio hologram, with the show built around previously unreleased recordings. Titled "The Bizarre World of Frank Zappa," the shows will include Ray White, Mike Keneally, Scott Thunes, Robert Martin, Ed Mann and Joe "Vaultmeister" Travers. Guitarist Vai is among the additional guests who'll appear.

In the promo clip, the voice of Zappa himself can be heard mentioning holograms. “It's fascinating to me how into holograms my dad was," his son Ahmet Zappa said in a statement. "It's unbelievable that we have Frank in his own words talking about it,”


The concept is controversial , with some Zappa fans argueing that Zappa himself would never have approved this. Dweezil Zappa declined any participation. 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 ye 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."

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