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.

Pink Floyd tribute band Think Floyd USA will headline a 3-day Carnival cruise to the Bahamas in 2009.
The Great Gig in the Sea, a nod to Floyd’s “Great Gig in the Sky,” sets sail from the Port of Miami (Florida) on Friday, May 1, arriving at Nassau, Bahamas, the following morning, before returning to Miami Sunday morning.
The three days will include Floyd-related parties, games and trivia, as well as performances each night by Think Floyd USA.

Tickets for the cruise run from about $475 for an inside room to about $970 for a larger suite.
“Floyd fans are so passionate about the band and love to get together to elebrate the music. It’s going to be a blast,” says Mitch Blumfield, Think Floyd USA’s vocalist.
