New Music Express reports The Flaming Lips will perform Pink Floyd‘s “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety at the Bonnaroo festival in June.
The Oklahoma group recently released a re-recording of the album on iTunes, and performed it live during their New Year’s Eve gig in Oklahoma City.
Bonnaroo takes place in Manchester, Tenn., June 10-13. Tickets go on sale Feb. 9, the same date the festival plans to officially announce its artist lineup.
While the Lips appearance seems to be a sure thing, rumors still circulate that Floyd’s Roger Waters might perform “The Wall” at the festival.
Waters said during interviews spotlighting the 30th anniversary of that seminal Floyd album he’d like to launch a proper tour of “The Wall” in 2010/11.
While his appearance in Tennessee in June is, very likely, just a rumor, we’ll be tuning in next week to see what Bonnaroo has to say.
