The Flaming Lips are known for frontman Wayne Coyne zorbing in a large transparent ball over the crowd at their gigs.<br /><br />So with COVID-19 restrictions putting a halt to most live music since March 2020, the US rock band came up with an inspired way to pull off some unique socially distanced shows.<br />With bubbles for audience members too, they have been able to perform for fans following a practice run in October 2020.<br />At the weekend, the band performed two shows in their home state of Oklahoma, with the crowd listening and dancing in "space bubbles".<br />Fans were able to take masks off inside the bubbles, but had to put them on when they needed to leave for any reason.<br />Anyone needing to leave had to roll their bubble to the exit and unzip it at the door.
