The Baltimore, hardcore, punk band have announced a shifting in one of their upcoming UK gig dates and, alongside this, they come to announce an additional show altogether. Turnstile, known for their songs “BLACKOUT” and “HOLIDAY”, announced last December their biggest show in the UK yet, set to be held on the 30th May this year.
They have just announced a rescheduling of said gig, which has been pushed back to the 15th August at the London, Brixton Academy. Consecutively, they will be playing in Manchester the following day at the Victoria Warehouse.
The last time the band set foot in the UK was last July at the Cheltenham festival, 2000 Trees. Their live performances have made quite a name for themselves through an invigorating energy brought to the stage by the band members. The barrier breaking music speaks for itself within a youthful punk band. Not to mention the liberty they transmit to the audience when they welcome their fans to jump on stage to dive headfirst into a swarming moshpit. Who would want to miss that.
Great success has come to kindly greet them since they released their latest album GLOW ON in 2021. It is their third full length studio album, which has proved to be the most successful, landing them top venue and sold-out shows around the globe. A much awaited response from a boundaryless and excavating band. “I think that there’s never really a plan set in place that has the potential to be disrupted if we wake up one morning and want to try something else. We try to never really apply too much structure to it, so it feels as boundless as it possibly can” they mention in an interview.
The Brixton Academy has been shut down ever since the fatal crowd crush during Asake’s gig on the 15th December. In order for the venue to unmuddle the circumstances, to create a safer environment for future events, Brixton Academy had no other choice other than to shut down for three months. A number of artists have had to adapt to the consequences and relocate or reschedule their shows to another time and place, including Turnstile. The venue has been shut voluntarily until April and still awaits an official date for it’s reopening.
Luckily, the punk band have managed to pull through with alternative dates and will be bringing their live sorcery back to the UK. Tickets for both gigs are now available to fetch online.
