I barely ever go to shows that are not small club shows (one of the benefits of liking music that few people are interested in), so this kind of thing is close to a non-issue for me.
I haven't seen the Flaming Lips since the early-mid 90s (when they were most definitely a full-on rock band with many "live instruments"), but I think I will probably go to this show, is only for the extreme irony of seeing this bill at a venue as ridiculous as the Minnesota State Fair. I usually avoid the Fair like the Plaugue, but this is too hilarious to miss.
