The Flaming Lips will deliver a series of special An Evening With concerts along the West Coast in 2023. Making stops in British Columbia, Nevada, and California, the concerts will see the psych-rock stalwarts dig deep into their massive catalog.
Beginning with a pair of shows at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver (2/28, 3/1), The Flaming Lips will return stateside for a show at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe in Stateline, NV (3/3). Following a performance at Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas (3/4), the band will finish out the run with a trio of California shows in Del Mar (3/6), Anaheim (3/7), and Santa Barbara (3/9).
Following the An Evening With shows, The Flaming Lips have a growing number of special Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots anniversary shows planned. In addition to a set at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta (5/7), the Wayne Coyne-fronted project will deliver full-album recreations of the landmark 2002 album in London (4/28), Chicago (5/5), and Washington, D.C. (5/25).
