Turnstile Are Playing a FREE Show at the Washington Monument
Your next concert ticket could cost absolutely nothing… and come with one incredible backdrop.
Turnstile have announced a free outdoor concert at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, October 24, at 3 p.m. The Baltimore band is teaming up with Human Concern International to raise money for humanitarian relief in Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon. The announcement was reported October 8.
Admission is free, and fans are encouraged to donate. According to Human Concern International global director Hassan Wadi, the fundraising effort aims to provide food, water, medical care and shelter to families in all three regions. An online RSVP page is available for fans planning to attend.
For Turnstile, bringing people together outside a traditional concert venue has become something of a tradition. The band celebrated Glow On with a free Baltimore park show in 2021, then did it again for Never Enough at Wyman Park Dell in 2025. Stereogum reports that roughly 10,000 people attended the latter. Now they’re bringing that communal spirit to the National Mall.
The D.C. performance will also close their current Never Enough Pt. 2 tour, arriving shortly after the band’s Saturday Night Live debut. It’s a big finish: an afternoon outdoor show, a landmark setting and an opportunity for fans to support humanitarian aid together.
