Never Enough — The hardcore band also performed two new songs at Wyman Park Dell in their first live concert in nearly two years, which was organised in support of Health Care For The Homeless.
American hardcore band Turnstile have raised over $35,000 (£26,400) for Baltimore-based charity Health Care For The Homeless from their free benefit concert on Saturday, May 10.
Taking place at Wyman Park Dell, the gig was free to enter, with QR codes set around the park that allowed fans to donate to the charity, which offers medical, dental, therapy and addiction support services to people in the city and wider Maryland who are experiencing homelessness.
Turnstile paid for the show’s production on their own, which was organised in collaboration with Nurse Booking, and debuted three new songs, ‘NEVER ENOUGH’, which is the title track for their upcoming album due next month, as well as ‘SEEIN’ STARS’ and ‘BIRDS’.
The band’s drummer Daniel Fang told The Baltimore Banner: “Homelessness is not something far away from you. These are our neighbour. These are people, and it takes people to show up for them.”
He also noted that the show had “extra significance” with its location in Wyman Park Dell, with the city of Baltimore clearing out people experiencing homelessness from the area in 2024.
Never Enough is set to release on June 6, with the band set to play shows in Los Angeles, Oxnard and New York in coming weeks, before setting off on a European tour from June that will see them play Outbreak Festival, Primavera Sound and Glastonbury.
