flipturn team up with Old Mervs ahead of UK tour

flipturn will bring their album Burnout Days to UK stages this November, with a headline Manchester gig at Manchester Academy 2 in November. The run will also include a major date at London’s Kentish Town Forum and a slot at Live at Leeds Festival.

To preview the tour, the Florida five-piece have shared a special new version of the album’s title track Burnout Days, featuring rising Australian duo Old Mervs. The rework follows the two bands’ recent collaborative live appearance at Park West in Chicago after Lollapalooza.

“Speaking about the new version, frontman Dillon Basse said, “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.”

Meanwhile Old Mervs’ Dave House added, “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.

Released earlier this year via Dualtone Records, Burnout Days marks a leap forward for flipturn, blending shimmering textures with themes of burnout, acceptance, and creative resilience. Uproxx praised its “nostalgia-inducing lyrical delivery”, while SPIN called the record “rays of optimism”.

Basse described the album as “the most honest we’ve been to our audience,” adding: “Some themes that are explored that I find new for flipturn are toxic positivity, burnout, and acceptance of constant change…

With over 300 million streams, flipturn have built a fanbase through relentless touring — culminating in a breakout year that saw them perform at Lollapalooza, curate Gainesville’s Playground Music Festival, and appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Burnout Days is the follow-up to debut album Shadowglow, which established the band across the US and introduced audiences to fan favourites like August, Sad Disco and Swim Between Trees.
