The group’s recent bubble concert series created a novel live experience while prioritizing audience safety, but now that COVID-19 vaccines are widely available — at least in North America and Europe — normal touring is set to return. The Flaming Lips already had a pair of August 2021 dates on the calendar. Now, they’ve added a hefty sl...
