Turnstile Announce Free Washington Monument Show for Charity

The rock band will host the show with Human Concern International

Turnstile has announced a free show that will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 24 at 3 p.m. The concert, which will be held by the Washington Monument, will be hosted with Human Concern International to raise funds to benefit the organization’s humanitarian efforts in Sudan and Lebanon and for Palestinians living in Gaza. The show will act as both a tour wrap-up to their Never Enough Tour Pt. 2 and hometown show for the group.

Speaking about the event, Hassan Wadi, Global Director of Human Concern International shares, “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,” Hassan Wadi, Global Director of Human Concern International, said in a statement. “Three regions who have suffered so much. 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 honored to collect and deliver these donations.”

The news follows Turnstile’s debut on Saturday Night Live where they performed the first single and a two-song medley off their Grammy-winning album Never Enough. The group opened with “Birds,” which took home Best Metal Performance at the Grammys in February, and played a medley of “I Care” and “Dull.”

Never Enough, their fourth album following 2021’s Glow On, won Best Rock Album at the same awards ceremony, in which the band was the first to be nominated simultaneously in the Rock, Alternative and Metal categories. In August, the band released a “reimagined” version of Never Enough.

When speaking about the title track, lead singer Brendan Yates told Rolling Stone back in December that the song “has existed in my head for a long time.”

“It was [about] a lot of different life experiences — about the feeling of love always falling short, or feeling like it’s falling short of having a lasting impact. This feeling of constantly chasing and constantly reaching. That can be a pattern, that, if you’re stuck in it, it’s really hard to escape,” he said. “We knew right away, when that song found its form, that that was leading the way with what this record needed to be. It spoke to a lot of the last few years of our lives, since the last album.”
