Can't say that we didn't call this one, The Flaming Lips announced yesterday that they will be playing a few Southern dates and will come through Raleigh on June 31st. Neon Indian, who has recently collaborated with the Lips will open the show. If you've never seen the Flaming Lips live, you will be in for a treat. No word yet on when tickets will be on sale.
Get ready for the space bubble in DTR!

Ha! Good one!
This was especially cruel.
i almost got excited and then i remembered i hate you guys on april 1
considering that was the headlining band i suggested in the linked article, i hold hope that this will come true in a similar fashion to the vampire weekend suggestion from about a year ago…
Anyone know when tickets go on sale?
damn you april 1st you get me every time
Not only will the Flaming Lips be flying from the UK to perform one night in Raleigh, and then return to the UK the next day, they’ve also somehow managed to slow down the rotaion of the earth so that June has an extra day. Truly amazing!! Can’t wait for the show
held out hope that this was not a joke. it could happen.
A little bit of truth to this one
Okay, NOT funny. Punk us on anything else but please, don’t race our hearts with the Flaming Lips!
I hope you get a ticket for drinking coffee in Moore Square!
Hey, maybe they will play city plaze during hopscotch. I could see that.
I see what you did here. On both levels.
June 31st…? Ooooh you guys!
I saw them at Disco Rodeo a few years back. Amazing show. You shouldn’t tease people like that.
opened for them at the Brewery. That was when it mattered.
Bow chicka bow wow!
This should be a good show!
Happy April Fools day!
Damn, David. You have a way with your April Fool’s Day pix.
Took me until today to find out that this was a joke….. so not funny.
