The Flaming Lips Announce 24 Hour Tour Schedule

The Flaming Lips have plotted out the band’s attempt at Guinness World Record fame with a 24-hour, eight-show road trip made up of gigs as early as 6:30 a.m. to as late as 1 a.m. and support from acts ranging from Grimes to Hunter Hayes. 
A few weeks ago the psychedelic rockers announced the band was planning to take on Jay-Z’s 2006 Guinness World Record for the most live concerts in 24 hours in multiple cities. Jay-Z played seven gigs from California to New York and The Lips will try to complete eight gigs between Tennessee and Louisiana.

When the Lips’ 24-hour tour was first announced, only the first stop – Memphis – and last destination – New Orleans – had been revealed. Now the rest of the locations are locked down along with venues and support acts.
