US Indie Band flipturn Announce Debut Australian Tour Dates
Swapping the beaches of Jacksonville, Florida for those on the Australian east coast, indie five-piece flipturn will be heading down under this November and December. Their first tour to our shores will see them headlining shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney as well as making two appearances at Rolling Sets Festival – continuing what has quickly become an undeniable breakout year.
Known for tracks like August, Sad Disco and Swim Between Trees and boasting over 300 million career streams, flipturn will be sharing indie anthems from their discography spanning from 2017’s Heavy Colours to their latest album – and most collaborative and cathartic release yet – Burnout Days. Released earlier this year, the collection is “the culmination of a decade” (SPIN) and has been praised for its “irresistible hooks” (Consequence), “atmospheric, introspective sound” (Under The Radar), “colorful, dynamic, shape-shifting indie-pop” (Relix) and more.
With special guests soon to be announced, flipturn will be heading to Tweed Heads for the Rolling Sets Festival before playing The Brightside in Brisbane, Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, Sydney’s Metro Theatre before wrapping up another Rolling Sets Festival performance on the Central Coast.
Having both played Lollapalooza on the weekend just gone, flipturn were joined by Old Mervs at a sold out official afterparty at Park West in Chicago. Old Mervs have recently teamed up with flipturn to collaborate on title track Burnout Days which will be released on August 20, available to presave here.
flipturn frontman Dillon Basse said, ”We truly couldn’t be more excited to be coming to Australia for the first time. Australia has a history of producing some of the best music, so it was a true honour to have a band like Old Mervs featured on this new version of our title track “Burnout Days”. We’ve always thought “Burnout Days” was a summer song, and since we will be coming over during the Australian summer we thought they would be the perfect fit.”
Old Mervs’ Dave House said, ”We are absolutely stoked with this collab with flipturn! “Burnout Days’” is such a fun song and playing around in the studio with it was a blast. It’s really refreshing and exciting working on something like this, features aren’t something you get to do all that often so a big thanks to flipturn crew for having us on this one.”
Formed in Jacksonville, FL, flipturn first came together in high school, where they worked passionately to turn garage meet-ups into playing college house shows into headlining sold-out dates for thousands, performing across continents to their rapidly-expanding and deeply-dedicated fanbase.
Releasing their debut album Shadowglow in 2022, the band went on to perform acclaimed festival sets at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Governor’s Ball and sharing stages with names like Two Door Cinema Club, The Revivalists, Mt. Joy, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
