Two-time Grammy winning rock/hardcore band, Turnstile, has announced an exclusive headline show set in Halifax this summer. A part of the 2026 TK Maxx Presents Live at the Piece Hall Summer series, Turnstile will make their return to the UK on Wednesday 26 August 2026.
The Piece Hall in West Yorkshire has already lined up a busy summer calendar. Now with 41 acts on the lineup, the TK Maxx Live at the Piece Hall Summer series will be one of the largest outdoor gig series in the UK.
Turnstile announced the show on Instagram with a flyer including a painting of The Piece Hall by artist Claire Milbrath. The post can be seen below.
Official Charts reported that Nicky Chance-Thompson MBE DL FRSA, CEO of The Piece Hall Trust said: ‘2026 will see Turnstile playing at some of the world’s most iconic festivals and then here in Halifax at UK’s most iconic heritage venue.’ He also mentioned that ‘knowing how passionate our rock and metal community is, this gig will be off the scale – truly unmissable.’
The Baltimore group took home two Grammys this year: Best Rock Album for ‘Never Enough’ and Best Metal Performance for ‘Birds.’ Beginning as a hardcore punk group in 2010, the band has seen many iterations. But in 2021, their third album ‘Glow On’ saw them achieve breakthrough fame. 2025’s ‘’Never Enough’ peaked at 11 on the UK Albums Chart and Number 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart ahead of its Grammy success. The band are also up for International Group of the Year at the 2026 BRIT Awards this weekend.
But, the newfound fame has not changed the band. Mostly, the members remain in North Baltimore where they began. They stay because the hardcore, heavy music scene which the band sprung from still thrives there. But, in 2025 lead singer Brendan Yates told Pitchfork, the success of ‘Glow On’ had changed their lives, in that they were finally able to not worry about their ‘collective survival outside of music.’ Another change Yates mentions is the ‘ability to play the main stage’ as well as the band’s visibility, noting how they have gone from playing in the back parking lot of festivals to thousands of fans.
This August, they will play to 6,000 fans at The Piece Hall. Then later that week they will head to London’s Victoria Park to support Tyler, The Creator at All Points East on Friday August 28. These UK appearances mark the continuation of an exciting chapter in Turnstile’s 15 year grind toward major success.
Tickets for Turnstile’s headline show in Halifax at The Piece Hall go on sale Friday 27 February at 10am GMT. More information can be found here.
