The Flaming Lips will perform at Liverpool Sound City on Sunday, May 23rd 2015.

Having already announced a shake-up for next year which will see the event move over to the city’s docklands and be headlined by Belle & Sebastian, another major addition to its line-up has now been confirmed.

“We are lucky to have a place” associated with our identity,” Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne remarks. “We hail from Oklahoma City and even though I’ve lived there my whole life, and the band has always been from there, we are probably more influenced by the city of Liverpool because of the Beatles and our curiosity about their life.”

“We’ve moved to an incredible new location and we are delivering on our promise to showcase the biggest and best bands in the world,” Sound City CEO Dave Pichilingi adds. “We are delighted to have The Flaming Lips for 2015, a band we have wanted on the bill since our first year and a band with a massive connection with the city.”
