Missoula Welcomes Flipturn: August 6th Show Review and Recap
August 6 | The Wilma Theatre
For their first time ever playing in Montana, Flipturn made sure it wouldn’t be their last.
The Florida-based indie rock band brought an infectious energy to the Wilma Theatre in Missoula on August 6, turning a nearly sold-out crowd into one big wave of movement and excitement.
From the moment they stepped onstage, the band’s stage presence was electric, playful, confident, and totally dialed in.
(We also want to note and appreciate the Montana Griz sweatshirt vocalist Dillon Basse wore - not that we're biased but go griz!)
The lighting setup added to the experience, washing the venue in mood-shifting colors that synced perfectly with each song’s tone and vibe. From jumping and dancing on stage to fun crowd interaction, the groups stage presence added an important layer to the show that kept the crowd engaged and having the time of their lives the whole night.
Highlights from the night included fan favorites like Sad Disco, Burnout Days, and a fitting performance of August in the great month of August - the crowd knew every word and you could tell people were waiting for this moment the whole night. Something about hearing the crowd sing in unison always makes a show extra memorable. They closed out the show with Chicago and Nickels, which ended the night on a high note that had the whole crowd dancing.
Their sound was true to the recordings, but elevated in a live setting with the band’s energy, instrumentation, and incredible stage presense. One standout moment came during the final song, when the drummer ditched the kit and played within the crowd and in the front of the stage, going out on an intimate moment with fans, and hyping the crowd up to leave with lasting memories.
Whether you were down in the pit or watching from the balcony, the good vibes and high energy were impossible to miss.
Montana and Missoula get a lot of great artists, but you could tell that people had been waiting for Flipturn to come.
