Gozortenplat (USA)

Gozortenplat is a Frank Zappa tribute band hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

For almost 20 years, they have been performing as the headlining act for the long running annual event Milwaukee Zappafest in their hometown. Milwaukee Zappafest is the 2nd longest running annual Frank Zappa tribute concert in the world and has been alive for 28 consecutive years.

In recent years, they have performed with Zappa alumni legends such as Ike Willis on multiple occasions. Over the last 3 years, they have developed a deep bond and friendship with Ray White, performing multiple times together in Milwaukee and Chicago including a fear and loathing performance together in Las Vegas in 2025.

Gozortenplat has had an ever changing, mutating, and rotating lineup over the years and this year they'll be bringing a very large all star lineup consisting of current, former, and new members with them to Zappanale. With almost 100 songs in their catalog, they deliver a unique setlist in every one of their shows.

The band embraces the high octane antics and comedy that permeated Frank Zappa's live shows, and bring their own style of it to the stage. It is a great honor and pleasure for them to have the 2 longest Frank Zappa tribute concerts in the world cross paths this year as they make their return to the wonderful and almighty Zappanale!
