Turnstile Announce Free Washington Monument Show for Charity
Baltimore hardcore giants Turnstile have announced a significant free show at the Washington Monument, aimed at raising vital funds for humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon. The band confirmed the one-off performance today, scheduling the event for October 24 at 3pm local time.
The performance will take place at the historic Washington D.C. landmark, with the band inviting fans to attend for free while encouraging donations on-site. The initiative is being held in collaboration with Human Concern International, with all proceeds set to be divided equally to support food, water, medical care, and shelter for families in need across the three regions.
Hassan Wadi, the global director of Human Concern International, expressed his gratitude for the band's commitment. "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," Wadi stated. "With your support we aim to provide food, water, medical care, and shelter to families in need in all three regions."

This event serves as the final date of the band's extensive North American tour, which has been running since June in support of their 2025 album, Never Enough. The band has long emphasized the importance of using their platform to address global issues. Speaking to NME at the 2026 BRIT Awards, the group noted, "I think artists kind of serve as a mirror to reflect what’s happening in the world. Especially in the States right now, there’s a lot of dehumanisation and a lot of need for empathy and awareness."
