The Flaming Lips will be there on Saturday, July 25th.

The Flaming Lips, The Cribs and Agnes Obel are some of the artists confirmed to be headlining this year’s Somerset House Summer Series in London between July 16th-26th.

Palace, The Lightning Seeds, Black Country New Road and Benjamin Clementine are also on a line-up which the venue’s Head Of Live Events Matthew Cook is ‘delighted to unveil’:

“Featuring artists spanning a variety of genres and generations, this year’s edition promises to deliver spectacular performances, in the unique setting of the Somerset House open-air courtyard.”

From creative trailblazers who have led the way for bold new genres, innovators whose impact can be felt across a vast array of musicians today, distinctly individual talents who continue to surprise, and future greats carving out their own path – Somerset House Summer Series once again stands as a testament to the power of the Arts.

“We can’t wait to welcome artists and fans to our home this summer.”
