Wednesday Video Spotlight: Tickets for Flaming Lips' New Year's Eve Freakout #5 now on sale

Tickets are now on sale for The Flaming Lips’ New Year’s Eve Freakout #5, the Oklahoma City-based psychedelic rockers’ annual hometown NYE spectacular, at www.ticketstorm.com.

Several significant changes have been made to this year’s event:

Now a two-night extravaganza, the fifth Freakout is set for 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 31 and Sunday, Jan. 1 at the Coca Cola Bricktown Events Center, 425 E California.

The Flaming Lips and Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band will play both nights, with Ono performing at midnight “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” the famed holiday anthem she wrote and recorded with her late husband, John Lennon.

“In honor of our fantastical guests The Flaming Lips will perform some classic cover songs with Sean Lennon,” the Lips posted recently on Twitter (@theflaminglips).

In addition, Neon Indian will join the lineup for the Jan. 1 show, the Lips wrote on Twitter.

Tickets for this year’s Freakout are pricier than past years: This year, tickets are $100 for one night or $150 for both shows. All ticket buyers get into the afterparty at The Womb, Lips frontman Wayne Coyne’s new art gallery in downtown OKC.
