Flaming Lips Coming To Wellmont Theater In Montclair For Concert

MONTCLAIR, NJ — Acclaimed psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips is coming to Montclair for a concert at the Wellmont Theater as part of their long-running “American Head” tour.

The Flaming Lips will be playing at the Wellmont on Thursday, Oct. 20. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Learn more or purchase tickets here.

According to a news release from the theater:

“Even within the eclectic world of alternative rock, few bands are as brave, as frequently brilliant, and as deliciously weird as The Flaming Lips - riding one of the more surreal career trajectories in pop music. After years in the underground, a major-label deal scored during the early-'90s alt rock craze gave them a bigger platform for their mix of psych, noise-rock, and bubblegum melodies, spawning the unlikely Top 40 hit "She Don't Use Jelly." At the turn of the century, they delivered a pair of lush and heartfelt masterpieces with 1999's The Soft Bulletin and 2003's Grammy-winning Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Later, they took their experimental and pop impulses in wildly different directions - notably collaborating with Miley Cyrus.”
