When Walk the Moon canceled summer tour dates for one of its members to deal with a family crisis, central Ohio concert promoter PromoWest Productions lost its Friday-night headliner for this summer's three-day PromoWest Fest.

But some concert fans may think that Walk the Moon's replacement, known for wild, balloon-filled performances, is an even better addition to the festival's lineup.

PromoWest Productions announced this morning that The Flaming Lips are set to perform Friday, July 15, at McFerson Commons, headlining a day that includes Ryan Adams, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Fitz & The Tantrums.

Three-day tickets are already on sale at Ticketmaster.com. Single-day tickets will be available Friday, May 13, on Ticketmaster.

Single-day tickets for Saturday, July 16, will be discounted $20 through the end of May. Snoop Dogg, Tears for Fears, LL Cool J and The Decemberists are among the performers on Saturday.
