The Flaming Lips is ready to return to Italy in 2026 for two dates: Wednesday 17 June at the Parco della Musica in Milan and Thursday 18 June at the BOnsai in Bologna.
Formed in Oklahoma in 1983, the Flaming Lips soon became one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable and vital forces in American alternative rock music. Over the course of its career the band obtained three GRAMMY® Awards, a Tony nomination and an RIAA Gold Record for Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Q Magazine included them among the 50 Bands to See Before You Die. Appearing on numerous television shows and a Super Bowl commercial, she has also contributed to iconic soundtracks and collaborated with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono and Tame Impala.
The Lips' most successful LP, Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, has been reissued in a 20th anniversary edition featuring previously unreleased demos, previously unreleased songs and live recordings. The most famous song, Do You Realize?? — also the Official Rock Song of Oklahoma — was covered by Willie Nelson on his album Last Leaf On The Tree. The latest LP, American Head, marks a return to more melodic sounds and was critically acclaimed, appearing in numerous year-end charts. With 22 studio albums, 16 singles, 11 compilations, 11 EPs and other self-released experimental rarities, the Flaming Lips remain at the pinnacle of creativity, becoming a true American treasure and creating a unique genre.
