The Flaming Lips

In 2012, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the success of their album "Embryonic," released in 2009, which marked a bold shift into more experimental soundscapes. By the time they performed at the Hangout Music Festival on May 19, 2012, they had solidified their reputation for immersive, multi-sensory concerts. This performance featured their rendition of Pink Floyd's "Eclipse," showcasing their knack for blending psychedelic rock with innovative visuals—a hallmark of their live shows. Interestingly, the Lips often brought theatrical elements into their performances, and 2012 saw them continuing to push boundaries in both music and presentation. Their vibrant stage presence and eccentric personality made them a perfect fit for such an iconic festival setting.
