And yes, it will still be a New Year’s celebration of epic proportions! Wayne and the band feel strongly about ringing in the New Year with you!” All tickets remain valid for the new shows. The postponement comes after The Strokes were also recently forced to postpone their New Year’s Eve show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in New York due to a spike in Omicron cases. Meanwhile, The Flaming Lips and young fan Nell Smith recently teamed up for Nick Cave covers album ‘When The Viaduct Looms’. “It is always great to meet excited, young creative people. With Nell we could see she is on a journey and thought it would be fun to join her for a while and see if we could get things going,” Coyne said at the time. “It was a great way to connect with her and help harness her cool attitude to making music.” The band also recently performed ‘Mother I’ve Taken LSD’ from the group’s 2020 album, ‘American Head’, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
