The reason people get so obsessive about repeatedly seeing the Flaming Lips live is that these psychedelic indie-darlings have a habit of putting on performances that are so weird, so wistful, so — and we mean this in the traditional sense of the word — fantastic, that mere gigs end up being transcendent experiences. This time around, the septet has titled the tour "With A Little Help From Their Fwends." As such, we can't help but hope that one of the "special surprise guests" being advertised for the New Year's Eve show is Miley Cyrus. If you consider how inseparable Wayne Coyne and young Miley have been in recent months, it's not a giant stretch — and it would be the perfect way for Coyne and company to create just the kind of bizarre, surreal, and memorable moments they're so famous for. Whether Miley shows up or not, though, seeing the Flaming Lips on NYE is a surefire way to ring in 2015 on a thoroughly positive note.
