FLIPTURN SHOWED CLEVELAND THAT BURNOUT CAN BE BEAUTIFUL
The Burnout Days Tour lit up The Agora with emotion, energy, and unforgettable connection.
While many of the songs on Flipturn’s discography can be described as “chill-indie,” their live performance is anything but. The Agora Theater in Cleveland was a place of connection, dancing, good vibes, and burnout days on the evening of July 30th.

Psychedelic Serenity on the Cuyahoga
After a gloomy day of rain and gray skies, the clouds finally broke just in time for Goose to bring the sunshine.
Jacob’s Pavilion was bursting with life—glittered cheeks, tie-dye shirts, funky outfits, and fans already dancing before the band even took the stage.
This wasn’t just a concert—it was a gathering. A celebration. A shared pulse. And Goose hadn’t even played a note yet.
