turning up

Appearing after absence

Turning up means arriving or appearing, often unexpectedly: She kept turning up at my office.

It also means increasing intensity or volume: Turn up the music.

In slang, turning up means partying hard or getting wild: We're turning up tonight.

To turn something up is to discover it through searching: The investigation turned up new evidence.
