Zappa Plays Zappa is the name of a 2006 concert tour where a band led by Dweezil Zappa, the oldest son of the late composer and musician Frank Zappa, played shows in Europe, Canada and the United States during May and June (the tour was also known as Zappa Plays Zappa - Tour de Frank). The shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa's rock-oriented compositions from 1960s to 1980s. Apart from Dweezil Zappa on lead guitar, the band consisted of a mix of relatively unknown young musicians and older musicians who previously played with Frank Zappa. Among those, Napoleon Murphy Brock (sax, flute and vocals) was an integral part of the band, while drummer (and singer) Terry Bozzio and electric guitarist Steve Vai performed as guests in parts of the shows. At several shows Frank Zappa himself performed a song posthumously via synchronized audio/video technology, notedly solos in Chunga's Revenge.

A minor tour in the US is planned for the Fall of 2006, including a show in New York on October 31. This will revive Frank Zappa's tradition of playing Halloween shows in New York.
