FLAMING LIPS - THE GIFT THAT JUST KEEPS GIVING
Wayne Coyne - I don't know what gift this man (surely more than a man) was given at birth but I always walk away from a Lips gig feeling ten feet tall. In fact I've never seen a face that doesn't have a beaming smile on it after a show. He is 'audience connection' personified., he's your best mate from the get go. The band may get slightly overlooked, but they are as tight as can be, and Steve's harmonies are a real feature. The light show was tremendous, together with the usual endless supply of giant balloons and confetti. Yoshimi from start to finish as an opening half was a winner, and the selection of hits that formed the second half was equally brilliant, Yet another great night in Wayne's World, money well spent, hope to do the same next year. A question to finish - at the end of the show the crew were firing small parachutes into the audience. Did anyone get one, and if you did, what was in it?

Wonderfully entertaining
Although I own (and iove) several FL albums this is the first live performance I've been to, and it was a stoncker! The baand played the whole of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots album and after a break came back with a second set of known and lesser known tracks. Both performances were aided by confetti canons and large inflatable characters which added a humourous visual element. Wayne as front man engaged fully with the audience. It does help if you know the songs. All in all, great fun.

Wayne
Amazing light show and exciting costume changes. Wayne was everything and I couldn't recommend it enough. It was my boyfriends first concert and it set the standards high.

The Lips deliver again.
Wayne Coyne is just magnificent, from dressing as a flower to walking on the crowd immersed in a bubble. The band play with an energy few can rival. Best live act ever. Don’t @ me!

The Flaming Lips, O2 Academy Leeds, Leeds - 2nd May 2025
Formed in Oklahoma City, OK in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in American alternative rock music.
The band has garnered three GRAMMY® Awards, a Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified Record for Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Q Magazine named them one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die.”
The band has made countless late night television appearances, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial, contributed to countless iconic film soundtracks, and collaborated with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono, Tame Impala, and many more. They have set countless records, broken world records, created spectacular interactive audio/visual events now regarded as legendary.
Frontman Wayne Coyne has been recognized for works of art that graced many LIPS album covers along with his traveling art exhibit “The King’s Mouth,” an audiovisual art installation that has been featured in many contemporary art museums around the US. The band’s latest LP, American Head, marks a return to a more melodic and song-oriented body of work and has critically been lauded as their best work in years placing on several Year End/Best Of lists around the world.
The LIPS most commercially successful LP, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, recently received the box set reissue treatment with a 20th Anniversary edition containing previously unheard demos, unreleased songs, and live recordings. The LP’s most famous song (and The Official State Rock Song for the state of Oklahoma) “Do You Realize??” was covered by none other than Willie Nelson on his LP Last Leaf On The Tree.
Even after a combination of 22 studio recordings, 16 singles, 11 compilations, 11 EP’s and 11 self-released experimental collaborative oddities released in various forms, quantities and unique mediums, The Flaming Lips remain in a creative apex that has no bounds. To that end, they have become an American Treasure and created a genre all to themselves.
