Flipturn (stylized in all lowercase) is an American indie rock band from Fernandina Beach, Florida formed in 2015. The band consists of founding members Dillon Basse (vocals), Tristan Duncan (guitar), and Madeline Jarman (bass), who founded the band as high school seniors. After their college years at the University of Florida, they picked up guitarist and synthesizer player Mitch Fountain, and drummer Devon VonBalson.
Flipturn gained traction in 2018 with their EP Citrona and its single "August". The band signed to Dualtone Records in June 2022. They released their debut album Shadowglow in August 2022, which received positive reception. The album release was followed by a tour through the United States in late 2022 into 2023 and the festival lineups of Lollapalooza, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees, and SXSW. The band's second studio album, Burnout Days, was released in January 2025.
