Flipturn plays Gasparilla Music Festival at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in St. Tampa, Florida on April 29, 2023. Credit: Ysanne Taylor / Gasparilla Music Festival After staging its long-running reggae festival at Vinoy Park over spring break, organizers of Reggae Rise Up are back with this festival packed with the kind of indie-rock that’s a hallmark of your Spotify algorithm. Flipturn is the gem on the Fin Fest poster for good reason. Florida-born, and alum on early Gasparilla Music Festival lineups, the band has gone big. A two-time Lollapaloozer that s played UK Dates, too, the quintet is a year removed from a stellar live album recorded over a two-night stint at Orlando’s House of Blues. Richy Mitch The Coal Miners, which opened dates on Caamp’s 2026 tour, are among the other highlights on the two-night festival alongside homegrown favorites like Speak Easy, Shevonne the Force, and Rohna.
