You know, we want live concerts to safely return as much as anyone else, but seeing an entire concert inside of a plastic bubble?

It’s either madness or genius (or both) and it comes from Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, who wants to have a concert in the band’s hometown of Oklahoma City.

Earlier this week he posted a picture of the potential set-up on his Instagram, showing rows of uninflated bubbles blocked out on a concert hall floor. Coyne confirmed the bubble idea in an interview in Brooklyn Vegan, acknowledging the oddness of it all.

“I mean, it seems absurd, but we at first were just doing it as not a joke, but just as a kind of funny thing, and now it’s becoming kind of serious and real,” he said. “I think that’s kind of the dilemma we’re all in is that are we waiting for it to go back to normal or are we starting to plot, ‘What’s the future look like?’ What is the future of live music?”

The Lips did a test run of the fan-in-the-plastic-bubble concept this summer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert‘s #PlayAtHome concert series. Catch a clip here!

Coyne said each bubble fits three comfortably so you wouldn’t have to go it alone. What do you think? Is this the inevitable future of concerts or just hella goofy? Let us know!
