Departure Lounge is the indie project led by Tim Keegan, rooted in the late 90s UK scene. Originally known as Tim Keegan & Departure Lounge, the band released their debut album Out of Here in the United Kingdom in 1999 (retitled Out of There for the US release in 2000 as Flydaddy). Over the years, Departure Lounge has crafted a concise but impactful discography, combining melodic indie rock with thoughtful lyrics and a sense of wide-open, travel-soaked imagery. After re-forming for live shows in 2019, the group has continued to perform and release material, maintaining a dedicated following in the UK and abroad. Below you’ll find a concise biography, discography highlights, and upcoming tour information to help you secure your seats through a trusted connection.
