PHOENIX, AZ | The Florida-based rock band Flipturn made a Phoenix appearance on their Burnout Days tour, headlining the Van Buren. Supported by Krooked Kings, Flipturn is beginning to level up.
The last time Flipturn played Phoenix they played a much smaller venue that holds much fewer than the Van Buren. They are touring in support of their sophomore album Burnout Days, and have been on a successful track since their first release, playing prestigious bills like Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, and SXSW.
The night was kicked off by indie rock band Krooked Kings. Building upon their own momentum, they have built a loyal fan base through a committed touring schedule. The band has been on the road perfecting their craft, and they have been busy recording new music and mixed in a little bit of everything to their opening set. They are dedicated to their artistry, but more importantly, the fans took the time to hang out by their merch table after their set. They’re booked through the end of March and then I am excited to see where this year takes them.
Touring on their sophomore album, the Flipturn 21 song setlist features fan favorites from other albums such as “August,” “Sad Disco,” and “Glistening.” According to Spotify, the most popular song on the newest album is the title track, “Burnout Days.” This song was featured second in their set.
Flipturn has some of the most entertaining lighting and theatrics I have seen in quite some time, and they match this level with their energy. They are certainly an upcoming band, but they have the talent to support this momentum. Their’s is a name to keep an eye on for the next few years.
