Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Few bands embody the festival atmosphere quite like the Flaming Lips, especially effervescent frontman Wayne Coyne. For uninitiated revelers, the Flaming Lips performance this Saturday could very well feature Coyne inhabiting an enormous gerbil ball or wearing a pair of hands as big as bicycle tires or posing onstage with a group of writhing, naked women.
Earlier this year, Lips guitarist Steven Drozd was briefly hospitalized right before the band’s scheduled performance at SunFest in West Palm Beach, and its show was axed. Fingers crossed that we’ll have better luck with this makeup date at Sunset Cove. Performances at this venue always begin on the early side, so show up on time.
