23 May, 2015: The Flaming Lips dazzle Liverpool with an incredible mind-melting set of space-rock and fantasy. Check out our stunning, exclusive photos from the show here.

"Come on, motherfuckers," teases Wayne Coyne as he stalks the stage in his frogsuit during a seemingly never-ending soundcheck. The sun sets and drones fly overhead as swathes on Liverpudlians in the true Saturday Scouse spirit start baying for action. Kicking off with 'The Abandoned Hospital Ship' into 'Fight Test', all that follows is a carnival of colour and celebration of life, complete with crowdsurfing in a balloon and even an on-stage marriage proposal. Masses sway and weep to 'A Spoonful Weighs A Ton' and 'Do You Realize', flanked by monsters and robots. It's a fantasy spectacle of freedom, one that hometown boys The Beatles would have been proud of. As the chorus of Coyne's balloon of 'fuck yeah Liverpool' is repeated well into the early hours, tonight alone is proof that all you need is love.
