This Band Just Pulled Off The World's First-Ever Bubble Concert & It Looked Like A Ball
This band just successfully pulled off the world's first-ever bubble concert and it looked like a ball (pun intended).
Flaming Lips held a first-of-its-kind in-person concert in Oklahoma City over the weekend — something almost unheard of in recent times due to COVID-19.

The band took socially-distanced concerts to a whole new level, and it didn't involve watching them perform on a screen.
Rather, Flaming Lips got innovative to provide a COVID-19 safe atmosphere by blowing up 100 see-through bubbles for concert-goers to party in while watching the show.
Each bubble held up to three people and even the band members performed in their own orbs on stage.
According to BBC, inside each globe was a speaker that helped prevent the sound from being muffled, a water bottle, a battery-operated fan, a towel, and a "I gotta go pee/hot in here" sign.
The futuristic 'Space Bubble' idea reportedly came from Flaming Lips' frontman, Wayne Coyne, who has been using the balls for years to roll across crowds.
Concert-goers shared videos of the show from inside their clear globes and it looks like one hell of a party.
