Though it did not go to plan, this opening worked at building a light-hearted, carefree and fun vibe for the night. In no rush, he brought out a robotic bird which he had hoped to fly across the crowd but after multiple attempts it was clear that it was not going to happen. Wayne Coyne looked fantastic, as always, with his signature electrified look and steampunk suit. When it was time for the main event of the night the venue had certainly filled up immensely. Though their crowd was small, those who made the smart choice to come down early enough were treated to a soulful warmth from the eclectic indie band. The deep melodies snaked through the spread-out viewers making for a chilling and memorable set.

The support of the evening was the Heartless Bastards. With new album American Head (2020) receiving strong reviews and praise for retaining the dramatic brutality of earlier work by the band, it was definitely time for the band to come out and display their light. Their quirky rock and even quirkier shows have built them a reputation of greatness. Flaming Lips drew a large crowd to the iconic Barrowlands in Glasgow and people clearly expected to be wowed.įlaming Lips are notorious for their live performances. Every event is facing tough competition to gather attendees in the current climate of fear and with the hard financial pinch that most are facing.

Now that artists are able to perform again there are sets are being announced here, there and everywhere. Flaming Lips helped a crowd realise that all we have is now and that is worth celebrating.įlaming Lips finally were able to play their Glasgow performance two years after it was first planned for.
