The Flaming Lips have garnered much attention for their inventive “space bubble” concerts. But later this year, and into 2022, the Wayne Coyne-fronted alt-rockers will embark on a worldwide tour that kicks off Aug. 20 in Utah and will wind its way to the Coca-Cola Roxy on April 2 next year.
Tickets for the tour – including the Atlanta date – will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 7 via livenation.com.
Fans can also anticipate the Record Store Day release of “The Soft Bulletin Companion” on vinyl. Only 16,000 copies of the 2-LP set – pressed on silver vinyl – will be available June 12; the album is expected to be more widely available later this year.
The Flaming Lips’ “The Soft Bulletin” album, released in 1999, is considered a landmark in their catalog. The “Companion” was initially distributed as a promo-only CD to press, radio and friends to complement “The Soft Bulletin.”
