Dweezil Zappa

Dweezil Zappa at The Pageant

Some guitarists play songs. Dweezil Zappa plays a family connection you can feel in the room. On November 22, 2026, he brings the DZ20 Like Father Like Son tour to The Pageant in St. Louis, and the night begins at 8:00 PM. If you love guitar-driven music with a restless, curious streak, this is the kind of evening that gets you out of the house and into a crowd.

The hook is personal. Dweezil Zappa has a musical connection to the work of his father, Frank Zappa. Frank is not appearing, and that matters. This is Dweezil, a distinct performing artist, standing in his own spotlight. You are not buying a museum visit. You are buying a chance to hear a guitarist whose identity lives somewhere between rock, fusion and the experimental. That's a lot of ground. It's also a good reason to pay attention.

There is a second draw here: his own catalog. Dweezil's original albums include Confessions of Deprived Youth and Via Zammata, which shows an artist with a voice beyond the family name. No exact songs are promised, so go for the player, not a checklist. Bring the friend who argues about guitar tone. Bring the sibling who grew up with weird records spinning in the next room. Then trade verdicts on the drive home. Live music sticks when it becomes a shared story. Plan your night at The Pageant, and grab your Dweezil Zappa seats before you lock in the plans.
