Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile will play a show in front of the Washington Monument on October 24, the group announced Thursday. Though the concert is free, donations go to humanitarian efforts in Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan through the nonprofit Human Concern International.
The band joins a local legacy of loud, free music in front of DC landmarks. Fugazi was known to play outdoor shows at sites such as Fort Reno and Lafayette Park, as well as benefit concerts at the Sylvan Theater. Turnstile teased their version on Wednesday with an Instagram video featuring footage from around the city, including the Metro.

The DC show is the final stop on Turnstile’s Never Enough Tour, which kicked off with a free benefit concert in Baltimore. No opening acts have been announced at this time.
Daniella Byck joined Washingtonian in 2022. She was previously with Outside Magazine and lives in Takoma.
