Summer Nights at the Bandstand 2026
The Flaming Lips
plus special guests
Doors: 6.30pm
Formed in Oklahoma City, OK in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since
become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in
American alternative rock music. The band has garnered three GRAMMY® Awards, a
Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified Record for Yoshimi Battles The
Pink Robots. Q Magazine named them
one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die.”
The band has made
countless late night television appearances, appeared in a Super Bowl
commercial, contributed to countless iconic film soundtracks, and collaborated
with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Chris Martin, Kacey Musgraves, Yoko Ono, Tame
Impala, and many more. They have set countless records, broken world records,
created spectacular interactive audio/visual events now regarded as legendary.
Frontman Wayne Coyne has been recognized for works of art that
graced many LIPS album covers along with his traveling art exhibit “The King’s Mouth,” an audiovisual art
installation that has been featured in many contemporary art museums around the
US. The band’s latest LP, American Head, marks a return to
a more melodic and song-oriented body of work and has critically been lauded as
their best work in years placing on several Year End/Best Of lists around the
world.
The LIPS most commercially successful LP, Yoshimi Battles the
Pink Robots, recently received the box set reissue treatment
with a 20th Anniversary edition containing
previously unheard demos, unreleased songs, and live recordings. The LP’s most
famous song (and The Official State Rock Song for the state of Oklahoma) “Do
You Realize??” was covered by none other than Willie Nelson on his LP Last Leaf On The Tree.
Even after a
combination of 22 studio recordings, 16 singles, 11 compilations, 11 EP’s and
11 self-released experimental collaborative oddities released in various forms,
quantities and unique mediums, The Flaming Lips remain in a creative apex that
has no bounds. To that end, they have become an American Treasure and created a
genre all to themselves.
Regular Music’s annual Summer
Nights festival, which runs from the end of July into August each
year, has become a firm favourite with music fans and scooped the Unesco City
of Music Best Live Event at the Scottish Music Awards in 2017.
Gates for Summer Nights at the Bandstand open each night at 6.30pm with draft bars serving a range of drinks including Birra Moretti lager and a selection of delicious street food available.
