Psychedelic pop icons The Flaming Lips will launch Sydney Festival and the Summer Sounds in The Domain series with a free performance in January.

Alongside their headline appearance for Mona Foma 2016, Wayne Coyne’s outfit will take over The Domain for what will surely be an enormous love-in, smack bang in the middle of summer, and launching the Sydney Festival program of music, theatre, art and more in January.

The Flaming Lips recently made headlines for apparently planning a nude concert with their pal Miley Cyrus, and while that’s unlikely to take place at this particular gig in Sydney, it’s hard to predict what else we’ll see from this chameleonic band.
