Concrete Jungle Jazz Club - ZAPPED

ZAPPED - live concert 13 December 2025

Brace yourself for a high-voltage musical experience! ZAPPED is the Nuremberg-based quintet that channels the brilliantly chaotic, genre-bending energy of the legendary Frank Zappa.

More than just a tribute, ZAPPED is a fresh and powerful re-imagining of Zappa's musical universe. As the winners of the Nuremberg "Nuecomer" Jazz Award 2023, this talented group has been celebrated for their virtuosic skill and fearless creativity. Their live shows are an electrifying ride through a wild mix of jazz, rock, and funk, built on intricate Zappa arrangements and their own inspired original compositions.

One moment the music is groovy and infectious, the next it's abstract and complex. Sometimes deeply serious, often delightfully absurd—ZAPPED captures the complete, uncompromising spirit of their namesake. It's no surprise they've earned a spot at the legendary Zappanale festival, the ultimate gathering for Zappa fans worldwide.

This is the Zappa style, reloaded for the 21st century. Subscribe for live performances, new tracks, and a journey into musical invention.
