The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips - Live Performance of Pompeii at Hellow Fest 2016
In August 2016, The Flaming Lips performed live at Hellow Fest in Monterrey, Mexico, showcasing their distinctive sound during a period marked by their adventurous albums. Just before this electrifying gig, they had released 'Oczy Mlody' in January 2017, which featured dreamy synths and a psychedelic vibe that fans have come to adore. However, during this live performance, they were still riding high on the success of 'The Terror,' released in 2013. This particular era was characterized by their fearless experimentation with sound and lyrics, often exploring themes of love, loss, and existentialism in a way that's both profound and quintessentially Flaming Lips. Their live shows are nothing short of an experience, often incorporating elaborate visuals and interactive elements, making every performance memorable—a hallmark of their artistic approach.
