Turnstile have announced a free show at the Washington Monument later this month, which will raise money for the people in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon.
The Baltimore hardcore giants announced the Washington D.C. performance today (Thursday October 8) on their social media channels, and confirmed that the one-off gig will start at 3pm local time on October 24.
At the show, they will perform by the historic monument and make entry completely free for visitors. It comes in collaboration with Human Concern International – and Turnstile have encouraged fans to donate on the day, with proceeds being “divided equally among its humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon”.
The newly-announced show will now mark the final date on their huge North American tour, which kicked off in June and comes in support of their 2025 album ‘Never Enough’.
“As a Gazan, I cannot be prouder of the Turnstile team and community for coming together to support the people of Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan. Three regions who have suffered so much,” said Hassan Wadi, the global director of Human Concern International.
“With your support we aim to provide food, water, medical care, and shelter to families in need in all three regions. Thank you all for your support, we are honoured to collect and deliver these donations.”
Visit here to RSVP to the show, and here to donate to the charity.
The announcement of the free show comes on the heels of the hardcore icons speaking to NME at the 2026 BRIT Awards, and highlighting the importance of musicians using their platforms to speak out against injustice.
“It’s very important. I think artists kind of serve as a mirror to reflect what’s happening in the world,” they told us on the red carpet. “Especially in the States right now, there’s a lot of dehumanisation and a lot of need for empathy and awareness. We’re a band and we try to do what we can to reflect that, and let people have a voice and shine lights on that.”
Since then, they have been confirmed for Primavera Sound 2027, and met Taylor Swift as they performed as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Before then, they played at Austin City Limits in Texas, and it capped a huge period for the band following the release of ‘Never Enough’. ‘Birds’ won Best Metal Performance at the Grammys in February, while ‘Never Enough’ took home Best Rock Album.
In August, they followed the record with ‘Never Enough: Versions’ – a complete reworking of the album featuring collaborators including Elton John, Hayley Williams, Blood Orange, A.G. Cook, Julien Baker, Four Tet and Slayyyter.
