Flaming Lips To Cover Dark Side At The ‘Roo

While we won’t officially know who will be playing the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival until a week from today (February 9), when Superfly and AC Entertainment unveils the initial line-up, it seems as if Wayne Coyne couldn’t quite wait that long to let the cat out of the bag. Earlier today the enigmatic and always well-dressed Flaming Lips front man revealed to Spinner that his band would be returning to Manchester, TN for the third time in the fest’s nine year history for another late night throw down.

Though it may seem like the psychedelic-rockers would have a hard time topping their epic 2007 appearance that featured a spaceship on stage along with their usual mix of theatrics, Coyne let it slip that the band will be upping the ante this year on Friday night/ Saturday morning around 2:30 AM. After a full set of Lips tunes they will be tackling Pink Floyd’s seminal classic Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety – which the band recently recorded released as an iTunes exclusive, and debuted live this past New Year’s Eve.

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival will take place from June 10 – 13, with tickets going on-sale for the first time ever on the very same day as the line-up announcement.
