The Flaming Lips Performing their masterpiece album The Soft Bulletin It’s been 20 years since The Flaming Lips released the one-of-a-kind aural hallucination that is The Soft Bulletin. The rest of us are still catching up. There are few acts as distinctive and idiosyncratic as The Flaming Lips, which is less of a rock band and more a perpetual motion machine flipping the finger to our expectations. But even in a 36-year career of constant self-reinvention, this 1999 release stands out as a high point in musical innovation. Led by charismatic frontman Wayne Coyne, this 20th anniversary concert will see The Soft Bulletin performed live, and given the band’s penchant for performances as unexpected as their songs, we’re ready for anything. 62 Arts Centre Melbourne Hamer Hall M T OCT 7 8 14 15 W 2 9 16 T 3 10 17 F 4 11 18 S 5 12 19 S 6 13 20 8pm Approx 1 hr 30 mins no interval   Tickets from $99 Eligible for Transaction fees may apply festival.melbourne Arts Centre Melbourne 1300 182 183
