Turnstile celebrated ‘Never Enough’ with Hayley Williams, live debuts & more Under the K Bridge (pics, review)
About two hours before ‘Never Enough’ came out, Turnstile played a Brooklyn release show to about 9,000 people with surprise guest Hayley Williams.
Just about two hours before Turnstile‘s anticipated new album Never Enough was officially released, the band played an album release show for roughly 9,000 people at Brooklyn’s Under The K Bridge Park, an outdoor space that’s literally located under the Kosciuszko Bridge. And if you had any doubts about whether or not Turnstile’s followup to their game-changing 2021 album Glow On would connect with people the way Glow On did, those doubts likely would’ve quickly vanished as soon as you saw them step foot onto the stage. They opened with Never Enough‘s title track, which was released as the album’s lead single two months earlier, and it felt to me like almost all 9,000 of those people were singing every word. A Turnstile show is always a give-and-take of communal energy between the band and the fans, and that energy felt entirely renewed in that moment by the response to this new song. This wasn’t just a crowd that was itching to see Turnstile again–at their first NYC show since opening for blink-182 in May of 2023 and first headlining NYC show since Brooklyn Mirage in October of 2022. This was a crowd that was hungry for more.
Of course, once Turnstile wrapped up “Never Enough” and launched into “T.L.C. (Turnstile Love Connection),” the level of craze shot through the roof (or, I guess, the bridge). With Never Enough not quite out yet, Glow On did dominate much of the setlist and those songs got the wildest reactions of the night every single time. And if the musical diversity of Turnstile’s more recent material is making you wonder if they’ve abandoned their hardcore roots, then you probably haven’t seen them live in a while. This was their biggest headlining NYC show yet by far, and no matter how big they get, they still break out multiple tracks from 2013’s Step 2 Rhythm EP and mosh-starters from their 2015 debut LP Nonstop Feeling. Those songs had noticeable swaths of fans showing off their day one pride, and even those who weren’t singing along couldn’t resist the undeniable grooves of “7,” “Keep It Moving,” “Pushing Me Away,” “Fazed Out,” and “Drop.”
The other Never Enough songs that were played hadn’t had as much time to settle in as the title track did, but you could tell that it won’t be long before those become fan favorites too. During “I Care” and “Dull,” which weren’t released as singles but did get introduced to the world when Turnstile played them on Fallon two nights earlier, you could tell that an impressive percentage of the crowd watched the Fallon performances enough (or got the vinyl which some fans said shipped early) to at least sing back the hooks. I don’t know if it was a planned thing or just a very dedicated fan, but during “Dull,” the crowd cam zoomed in on someone holding up a rotary phone, just like the one Turnstile had as a prop on Fallon.
One of the best moments of the night came during the live debut of recent single “Look Out For Me.” With its headbangable riff/groove and its shoutalong hook of “NOW MY HEART IS HANGING BY A THREAD,” it was an instant crowdpleaser, but it’s the second half of the nearly-seven-minute song that took the show to new places, when it gradually transitioned out of post-hardcore into club music and turned Under the K Bridge Park into the rave environment that it’s best known for. As strange as a three-minute rave fitting seamlessly into a punk or hardcore show might sound on paper, it makes perfect sense coming from Turnstile.
Considering the music never stopped, I don’t know if I should technically call it an “encore” but the rave section of “Look Out For Me” acted like an intermission and then Turnstile returned for Glow On‘s opening one-two punch, “Mystery” and “Blackout.” The biggest surprise of the night came next, when Turnstile played recent single “Seein’ Stars” and brought out one of the song’s backing vocalists, Paramore’s Hayley Williams (who also attended the premiere of the Never Enough visual album at Tribeca Festival earlier that day). Her contribution to the album version is subtle, but at the Brooklyn show she took over lead vocals for a verse and the song ended with Hayley and Turnstile’s Brendan Yates singing the chorus in unison. Needless to say, an amazing moment.
Just as Turnstile opened the show with a Never Enough song, they said goodbye with one: “Birds,” the most Bad Brains-y fast-paced hardcore song of all the album’s singles. The crowd knew what to do as soon as the tension-building intro began, and more pits opened up throughout the audience as Turnstile took us through one last rager. They left us wanting more, and hopefully now that the album’s out in the world, it won’t be long before they come back around for a proper tour and treat crowds to more of this powerful new record.
Keeping with the theme that Turnstile have not abandoned the hardcore scene that birthed them, they had two newer hardcore bands–their Baltimore neighbors End It and Bay Area band Big Boy–open the show. And keeping with their theme of defying genre and doing things their own way, those sets were followed by the gothy synthpop of Boy Harsher and the eccentric art-rap of Teezo Touchdown (whose set included one of the Tyler, the Creator songs that he appears on, “Darling, I”). Pictures of the show by Amanda Hatfield continue below, along with more videos and Turnstile’s setlist.
