American rock band The Flaming Lips will perform at Barton Hall on Nov. 10, according to an email sent by the Cornell Concert Commission.

This show will not be The Lips’ first performance at Cornell. The band performed at Barton Hall in April 2010, The Sun previously reported.

The group — which formed in 1983 in Norman, Oklahoma — is known for its live shows, which frequently feature costumes, balloons, puppets, giant hands and large amounts of confetti, according to the band’s website.

In 2002, Q Magazine named The Lips as one of “50 Bands to See Before You Die.”
