Flaming Lips and Bat For Lashes Open Coldplay European Dates
Posted June 19, 2009 by George Lang
Staticblog officially begs for those transatlantic comp flights: The Flaming Lips will open for Coldplay on three dates: Sept. 4 in Barcelona, Sept. 7 in Paris and Sept. 9 in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Those last two gigs, the Lips are paired with Bat For Lashes, which essentially means that I’d be fine swimming there if necessary.
I might point out that the Paris gig falls the day after my birthday. I’m cool with wealthy benefactors and Platinum donations to Staticblog.
