Turnstile raised more than $250,000 for Human Concern International’s relief efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon with a free show on the National Mall in front of the Washington Monument. The National Park Service estimated that around 60,000 people attended. The setting carried its own punk history. Fugazi played landmark shows at the Sylvan Theater on the Washington Monument grounds in 1993 and 1995. The 1993 show, a benefit marking the 30th anniversary of the March on Washington, drew about 5,000 people. @TURNSTILEHC's show felt like a new chapter in the same story and another highlight in an insane year for the band—which included two Grammy awards, an acclaimed remix album, and making their ‘Saturday Night Live’ debut. For the Baltimore band, whose members cut their teeth in the DMV hardcore scene, it was a triumphant homecoming. During the set, frontman Brendan Yates thanked the crowd: "We’re so grateful to have been raised by this scene, one that taught us that music not only reflects the artist making it but the people and the world and the suffering and the joy that surrounds it."
