Tour Dates: The Lips Go To The Dark Side

The Flaming Lips are no strangers to concert theatrics – an average Lips shows features everything from Wayne in a bubble to hand puppets to confetti cannons. For their upcoming New Year’s Eve Freakout gig at the Cox Convention Center in their hometown of Oklahoma City, the psychedelic-rock band have have decided to up the ante in a big way by covering Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety after the midnight countdown. Tickets for what is sure to be quite the spectacle are still available, starting at the low, low price of just $10.
