Turnstile to play free Washington Monument gig supporting Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon
Turnstile will perform a free concert at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. on October 24, starting at 3pm local time. The event is organized with Human Concern International, and donations will be split equally among the charity's humanitarian work in Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon. It will close out the band's North American tour behind their 2025 album 'Never Enough'.
Turnstile, a hardcore group from Baltimore, revealed the Washington, D.C. date on October 8. The free event begins at 3 p.m. local time on October 24 beside the Washington Monument and concludes their North American run, which launched in June behind 2025's Never Enough.
Human Concern International is partnering on the concert. Attendees are encouraged to give what they can, with funds shared evenly across the organization's relief work in Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon. The charity's global director, Hassan Wadi, said support would help supply food, water, medical aid and shelter.
The free monument show may draw large public attention to humanitarian fundraising, potentially increasing donations for affected communities. It could also reinforce expectations that touring artists use major platforms for social causes, influencing fans, local businesses, and charity partners. Because entry is free, access may broaden, though crowd size, security, and donation follow-through could shape actual outcomes.
