Flipturn stopped through the Rialto Theatre last night as The Burnout Days Tour nears its final North American dates, marking their first time playing in Tucson. There was an unmistakable sense of anticipation as fans filed in, ready to experience the band’s high-energy live show that’s earned them a reputation as a must-see act.
Sun Room opened the night with their signature brand of surf-rock energy, closing out their run of tour support on a high note. Their playful stage presence and summery sound set the tone, getting the crowd moving and smiling.
When Flipturn took the stage, the energy in the room shifted instantly. The band launched into their set with urgency and passion, every song delivered with the kind of vitality that makes live music unforgettable. Fans sang along loudly to favorites, but the moment that stood out came when “August” rang out in the thick of an Arizona August—creating a connection between song, season, and audience that felt almost cinematic.
The night carried a balance of intensity and intimacy, with Flipturn’s soaring indie rock filling the historic theater while still allowing room for quieter, emotional moments. As the final notes faded, it was clear the band had given everything they had, and the crowd left buzzing with the kind of post-show glow that lingers long after the doors close.
