Q Magazine named The Flaming Lips as one of the 50 bands you should see before you die. Now you’ll get your chance, with the band announcing their first Australian tour since the 2004 Big Day Out.
A return visit has been a long time coming, but with the band set to release a new album in June the wait is over, for Sydney and Melbourne residents anyway.
The blink-and-you’ll-miss it tour is sure to disappoint many, but after five long years fans will probably take what they can get! The Flaming Lips will play Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on July 28, before heading to Melbourne’s Festival Hall on July 29. Tickets for both shows go on sale on April 2.
