1 'The Flaming Lips': Bubble Concert (10 pics)

Like, literally everyone. What’s even stranger is that according to a series of Instagram posts, this idea wasn’t even originally a response to Covid. Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of The Flaming Lips, made a doodle of a “bubble concert” back in 2019 just as a cool idea for a music video/concert of sorts (though in this doodle only he was sealed in a bubble, everyone else was free to move around).

A follow-up drawing expanded the concept to everyone including the audience, but Wayne Coyne assumed the idea wouldn’t be used or realized (though, he would get into a “hamster ball” of sorts in concerts last year, but only him). However, as Covid raged on, the concept was no longer just a cool/weird idea, but a way to (more or less) safely hold a concert. Around 100 people were admitted into bubbles for the concert, and as this video below shows, Wayne’s bubble was able to move around the tops of the other bubbles: The Flaming Lips saw the concert as a test run for future shows. Best of luck to them? Because the online response to this event is all over the place, and I’m still just baffled by the whole thing. I’ll let y’all hash this one out:
