Flaming Lips: No dark side to their ticket sales
While many tours have canceled due to weak ticket sales, the Flaming Lips are business as usual. Soft sales have claimed tour dates on the Lilith Festival, in addition to acts such as Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and The Eagles.
“We don’t [feel different], but we’re not really that concerned about playing the biggest festival in the world,” Lips frontman Wayne Coyne told Rolling Stone.
“Oh well, f*ck them. Sometimes you think if you charged maybe $60 for your tickets instead of you know, thousands of dollars … but they should do what they like.
“We were in Croatia last week, we’re gonna go to Poland later this summer. We want to go to interesting places. We don’t want to play at the biggest most popular rock star event.
“I think it’s much better to do things that are interesting and hope that they work, rather than trying to do stuff that, if it’s not successful, we all f*cking lose.”
The Flaming Lips are performing songs from their most recent albums Embryonic and the reinterpreted Pink Floyd LP, Dark Side of the Moon.
