Turnstile Bring Hardcore Fury (and 60,000 Fans) to Washington Monument: Exclusive Photos
The group's fans descended on the nation's capital over the weekend for a human rights fundraiser in the shadow of the Washington monument.
On Saturday, October 24th, Turnstile brought their hardcore energy to the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. The free show drew over 60,000 fans and was the band's biggest performance to date, marking the final gig of their North American tour supporting their album Never Enough. The event, co-hosted by Human Concern International, aimed to raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon.
Turnstile's lead singer, Brendan Yates, encouraged the crowd to support these causes, leading chants for "Free Palestine!" and "Free Sudan!" during the performance. The Grammy-winning band's donation of over $150,000 greatly exceeded their $100,000 goal. The 19-song setlist featured hits like "Birds," "Endless," "Keep It Moving," "Holiday," "Blackout," and the closing track, "T.L.C.
(Turnstile Love Connection)." Turnstile's Grammy Award win in February for best rock album and best metal performance ("Birds") marked the first time a hardcore group performed at the iconic site since Fear's chaotic 1981 debut on SNL.
