Indie rock mainstays The Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse have announced a 2025 co-headline tour that will visit Cincinnati, OH on August 12 for a performance at The Andrew J Brady Music Center®. Friko will support the Cincinnati show.

This will be The Flaming Lips’ first US shows since they toured last year with Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. They also recently celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots with an expanded edition of the album and released a 25th anniversary zoetrope vinyl of The Soft Bulletin.

Modest Mouse completed a tour at the end of 2024 celebrating the 20th anniversary of Good News For People Who Love Bad News, where they played the seminal record from start to finish. The tour followed the release of an expanded edition of the album that helped them break out of the rock underground after more than a decade of existence.
