The Flaming Lips, The Vaccines and Frank Turner have joined this year’s Boardmasters event.

You’ll also now find Stormzy, Loyle Carner, Wild Beasts and Jagwar Ma between August 11th-13th at Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay in Cornwall, joining previously confirmed headliners Two Door Cinema Club, Alt-J and Jamiroquai.

The Flaming Lips are jetting around in support of 2017’s Oczy Mlody – a ‘dream-laden odyssey that frequently resembles a good and bad psychedelic experience‘ according to Live4ever:

“The duality takes some getting used to – as did the other things in their arsenal of playfulness from the past – but as with closer We a Family, it shoulder-shrugs the responsibility for getting along with it back on the listener.”

“The song itself is a duet with Miley Cyrus, of whom Coyne’s avuncular relationship has raised the odd eyebrow, but outside of that shell is a lucid, naive r&b vibe which the young protege coats with sugar and that the cosmic programming turns into a post modern nursery rhyme.”
