Flaming Lips

With their surreal stagecraft, otherworldly visuals, and euphoric wall-of-sound energy, The Flaming Lips have built a legacy as one of the most entertaining forces in American rock music.
Formed in 1983 in Oklahoma City, the band has earned three GRAMMY Awards, a Tony nomination, and widespread acclaim for their singular mix of experimental rock and emotional songwriting. Led by visionary frontman Wayne Coyne known for his larger-than-life live performances and whimsical artistic sensibility the group continues to push creative boundaries in both music and visual art.
Their 2002 release Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots became an instant classic, earning Gold certification and landing them on countless “must-see live” lists including Q Magazine’s “50 Bands to See Before You Die.” Over the years, they’ve collaborated with artists like Kacey Musgraves, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and Yoko Ono.
Beloved tracks like “Do You Realize??,” “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1,” and “She Don’t Use Jelly” showcase their ability to blend heartfelt songwriting with wild sonic experimentation. Their most recent LP, American Head, has been hailed as a return to melodic form and praised by critics as their best work in years.
