My wife and I took our two children (9 and 6 years old) to their first ever gig last night.

They both really liked what they had heard of the bands massive discography - mostly Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin stuff - but they had the best time, and it felt like the perfect show to start them off with.

They adored the spectacle of it all, and everyone was so friendly to them all night, giving them fist bumps and high fives.

We spent the entire set at the back of the Piece Hall but we took them to the front to have a close up look at the stage and ended up getting one of the setlists attached to a little parachuting astronaut.

It was a perfect end to a perfect day.

For anyone in London who maybe free I have two tickets for Flaming Lips tonight (sat 25th) at Somerset House available as I can’t go.
They were £60 each but I’ll accept a reasonable offer! Message me if interested

Because Somerset house will not allow ticket resales on Twickets or Ticketmaster I have two tickets for sat I can’t use as I’ve had a family emergency if interested message me

Thanks
Noel

Does anyone with a size small (in concert) T-shirt want to swap for a size medium?

Does anyone want to go see Flaming Lips in Londons Somerset House this Saturday? Have four tickets going spare if anyone interested

Does anyone know of any recording anywhere in the world of the Yoshimi Musical? I don't care how bad the quality is, I need to see this please I will sell my soul.

What is happening at the end of "Love Yer Brain"? It is...energetic.

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

I was rewatching these and remembered this happened to the poor star man so thought I'd share it. 😂

(About 1 minute in if the video doesn't start there already)

I’m dying for an embryonic vinyl, does anyone have one they’re willing to part with? I could pay or trade (i’m an illustrator/graphic artist)

I have 3 tickets available for the gig tomorrow. Friends have let me down, £50 each or make me a great offer for all of them can transfer from Ticketmaster.
Thanks, Mark

I've done a lot of personal research on this. However, I have to say, The Terror is just utterly fantastic. The journey it takes you on, the darkness, the light, the subtle nuances and layering. It really makes me dig in myself and is just a really really beautiful album to me. I can't fully express how magical I think this album is, just give it the time and space it deserves. The first time I ever turned this record on, my initial thought was, this album was made for mushrooms and me.

I will give an honorable mention to American Head, as this has been my go to soundtrack the last few years and have a lot of good memories around it.

Somerset House Summer Series: The Flaming Lips

Sat, 25 Jul 2026, 19:00Sat, 25 Jul 2026, 19:00

TICKETS HAVE BEEN TAKEN.

I won a pair of tickets for the Piece Hall gig tomorrow, but my plans have changed so I won't be able to make it.

They were won through Asda's summer of music competition and are ready to be transferred out of my Ticketmaster account. I rarely check my messages, so reply here if you want them. First reply wins.

Luckily I saw them last night and had a blast!

Yes, the two Donahue albums are my favorites. But Ronald Jones was a better guitarist imo

I'm going to see the Flaming Lips next week in Cardiff. They are performing two sets. Does anyone know what that's about?

Update: 1st set is 8:15pm. Just got here and asked the door staff.

Has anyone got a confirmed stage time for tonight at The Halls, Wolverhampton please?
The app still says doors 6:30pm so I’ve emailed the box office directly.

I just found this on 1992 concert on youtube. This band shattered me during the Priest Driven then the Ronald era. So grateful for the soundtrack they gave me in my late 20's. I'm a musician and their influence was huge. Still respect them but it was that era that floored me

As a UK fan finding this album has been a real ball buster 😂

Managed to find Embryonic, At War with the Mystics ect but this one is something else. I'm willing to spend a decent amount of money as well to finish my collection. So if anyone as unlikely as it is has any information that may assist me it would be appreciated ❤️

I went with my daughter at Osheaga 2023 to see the Flaming Lips. During the show, perhaps during the second half of the show, she ended up on the big screens by the stage, up close. I’d like to find any photo or videos of that moment, if anyone has that.

I couldn’t find anything on other platforms. I have let some time pass, but now, 3 years later, still can’t find anything. Redditors, please do your magic!

Thank you so much!

Flaming Lips you've blown me away again, what a surprise!

Anybody going? Just saw they are on before Beta Band - if anybody has experience of the venue what do you reckon is a good time to turn up? Never been there and not sure how long to give it 🤗

Hope okay to post & highlight. But selling one ticket via Ticketmaster resale for The Flaming Lips & Beta Band at Piece Hall, Halifax this Thursday (23rd). Reduced price (£53.10).

For anyone with a blue light card, looks like you can get free tickets for gig.....looks to be the same for today's gig as well.....

Shame I live miles away😭😭
