The Flaming Lips
Expect confetti canons, elaborate costumes and the highly acclaimed 'The Soft Bulletin' album in full.
Overview
Twenty years after releasing their ninth and most celebrated record, The Soft Bulletin, Oklahoma rock legends The Flaming Lips are heading back Down Under. They're coming to Melbourne to play the highly acclaimed album in full, as well as some of their greatest hits.
Taking over Hamer Hall as part of Melbourne International Arts Festival, The Flaming Lips will bring their signature technicolour shows to life two nights. Expect elaborate costumes, confetti cannons and even neon unicorns to fill the stages as the seven-piece band performs hits such as 'Waitin' for a Superman', 'Race for the Prize' and 'A Spoonful Weighs a Ton'.
Released in 1999, The Soft Bulletin is widely accepted as the band's greatest album, named by NME as the Album of the Year and by Pitchfork as a 'masterpiece' and the third best album of the 90s. As well as playing this seminal album in full, The Flaming Lips will also perform some of their other greatest hits, including 'Do You Realize??' and 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1'.
