Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is the tenth studio album by American rock band the Flaming Lips, released on July 16, 2002, by Warner Bros. Records. The album saw the band pursue a more electronic direction than previous efforts, incorporating acoustic guitars and rhythms influenced by hip hop and Top 40 music. The album was well-received critically and commercially, helping the band break into popularity, and was adapted into a musical in 2012. To commemorate the album’s 20th anniversary, the band embarked on a world tour where they played it live from start to finish each night starting in 2023 and ending in 2025, and a box set was also released in 2023.
