Flaming Lips

Although Beyoncé is the big-name performer at this year’s Super Bowl, the Flaming Lips will be part of the action, too, thanks to the band’s appearance in a commercial for Hyundai. The Oklahoma City rockers wrote a classic-sounding new song, ‘Sun Blows Up Today,’ for the spot, which includes footage of the band performing in unusual places, and their confetti-spewing tour bus. “It was a really pai

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the U.K.'s annual Bestival festival, and organizers have announced the first round of artists on a bill that promises to be one of the most eclectic of the 2013 festival season. The Flaming Lips, Franz Ferdinand, M.I.A., the Knife and Bombay Bicycle Club are among the acts set to appear at Bestival 2013 which takes place from Sept. 5-8 on the Isle of Wight,

April Fool's Day won't come soon enough for Flaming Lips fans, as the band has announced an April 1 release date for its next album, titled 'The Terror.' And from the way frontman Wayne Coyne talks about it, the Lips' follow-up to 2009's 'Embryonic' will live up to its dark and dreary name.

The Black Keys and the Flaming Lips will join forces for a brief but all-powerful spate of dates this spring. Both bands are already touring separately, and their paths will converge on April 28 and remain as such through May 3. It's not enough to label it an actual "tour," but that's semantics. All that matters is that they will grace the same stages.

If you've seen the Flaming Lips live, you know all about the crazy multimedia show they put on. The spectacle includes a wild light show, bubbles, balloons, buckets of confetti and singer Wayne Coyne's giant laser-shooting hands. Unfortunately, the Lips report that those specialized hands went missing after the band's appearance at the Southbound Festival in Busselton, Western Australia, last week

We always knew that Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne was eccentric, but he's also a pretty bad packer. That, or he has an inconsiderate sense of humor when it comes to traveling. In news that has remained somewhat under the radar, until now, the singer showed up at the Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City last week with a grenade (or a replica of a grenade) on his person or in his luggage. It cau

The Flaming Lips have officially succeeded in their mission to break the Guinness World Record for most concerts performed in multiple cities in a 24-hour period. Wayne Coyne and his crew of merry pranksters rocked eight gigs in the allotted time, traveling from city to city via bus and besting rapper Jay-Z‘s previous mark of seven along the way.

We already knew when the Flaming Lips were planning to break the Guinness World Record for most concerts in a 24-hour span — as well as where they were scheduled to make it happen. And now, thanks to a press release issued by the band’s label, we know who will be joining the band on its epic musical adventure.

The Flaming Lips have made the most out of the year so far, playing plenty of shows and releasing their Record Store Day-exclusive album, ‘The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends.’ Now the band reveals that it’s putting the finishing touches on a new studio album that may be released in late 2012.

The Flaming Lips paid musical tribute to Radiohead and their fallen comrade, 33-year-old drum technician Scott Johnson, who was killed Saturday night when a structure above the band’s stage in Toronto, Canada, collapsed just hours before they were set to perform. During the Lips’ own Saturday night gig (as part of the NXNE festival also in Toronto), frontman Wayne Coyne led his band through a cove

After announcing plans to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most shows played in 24 hours, the Flaming Lips have outlined their master schedule for the big day. The band will perform eight different shows in eight different cities with various support acts.

The Flaming Lips are feeling a little ambitious as they attempt to immortalize themselves in the Guinness Book of World Records. The band will try to play the most shows in multiple cities in a 24-hour period.
