Baltimore witnessed an explosive concert on May 10, when the hardcore band Turnstile performed a free show at Wyman Park Dell, drawing in more than 10,000 fans. This remarkable event served as a benefit for Health Care for the Homeless, successfully raising over $35,000 to support their efforts in assisting individuals facing homelessness.
The audience was an eclectic mix, including old-head punks, college students, and families, all coming together for their passion for the local band. This show marked Turnstile’s first live performance in nearly a year and provided fans with a preview of their forthcoming album titled *Never Enough*, which is scheduled for release on June 6 via Roadrunner Records.
During the concert, the atmosphere was electric, with the crowd engaged in activities such as moshing, crowd-surfing, and stage diving. Throughout the performance, Turnstile’s frontman, Brendan Yates, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the attendees for their support.
To facilitate donations, the fundraising effort incorporated QR codes strategically placed around the venue, allowing fans to easily contribute to Health Care for the Homeless. This nonprofit organization offers a wide range of services, including medical care, dental services, therapy, addiction treatment, and housing assistance to those in need.
In addition to enjoying the music, fans had the opportunity to enter a raffle for a signed poster by donating to the nonprofit before May 14, with the announcement of the winner to follow shortly thereafter. Turnstile’s musical repertoire during the concert featured a mix of tracks from their new album as well as selections from their previous works, effectively showcasing the band’s evolution in the music scene.
Turnstile has gained recognition in the music industry, having received Grammy nominations for songs from their earlier album, *Glow On*, including notable tracks like “Holiday” and “Blackout”. Their previous performances have included shows at significant events and locations, further evidence of their growing influence in the music landscape.
The success of the event can be attributed not only to the band’s popularity but also to the collaborative efforts of a local team of over 60 individuals who assisted with various logistical aspects to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved. The concert’s organization was made possible in partnership with Unregistered Nurse Booking.
Overall, the Turnstile benefit concert at Wyman Park Dell was not just a night of music, but a powerful demonstration of community unity and support for an important cause. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of *Never Enough*, the band has solidified its place as a pivotal force in both the hardcore music genre and charitable contributions to their local community.
