“The Flaming Lips and Weezer are playing a show together…where they are actually playing together.”
-Wayne Coyne

Billed as LipsWeezer/WeezerLips Extravaganzas, The Flaming Lips and Weezer will play a pair of shows together on Thursday, July 28th at New Jersey’s PNC Bank Arts Center New Jersey and the next night at Long Island, New York’s Jones Beach.  According to a July 11th press release (which can be viewed, unedited, here), “Weezer and the Flaming Lips will trade off songs back and forth for the entire length of each concert, allowing them to take turns playing a few songs each in one big exciting set… This will be a first for both bands as they will take the stage together and trade off songs. Naturally, these will be very special events and most likely will never happen again. The only thing that can be predicted is to expect the unpredictable. Yeasayer will provide support… Needless to say don’t miss these unprecedented, monumental happenings.”

It seems Weezer will even get in on some space bubble action, says Rivers Cuomo, “I asked Wayne if he has an extra bubble I could ride in.”

UPDATE – I was at both shows, they were fantastic.  Full post on WeezerLips Extravaganza is here – including both night’s setlists and pictures …
