Which 2026 Lollapalooza act is a Baltimore hardcore punk band formed in 2010?

The story behind the answer

Turnstile is the Baltimore hardcore punk band formed in 2010 and booked for Lollapalooza 2026.

The group grew out of Baltimore’s influential hardcore scene, with vocalist Brendan Yates and drummer Daniel Fang among its founding members. Turnstile released its debut EP, Pressure to Succeed, in 2011, followed by Step 2 Rhythm in 2013. Its first full-length album, Nonstop Feeling, arrived in 2015.

Turnstile reached a much wider audience with Glow On, released in 2021. The album kept the band’s hardcore foundation while adding melodic, psychedelic, and alternative-rock textures. It earned three Grammy nominations and helped move the group from a respected scene act to a major festival name.

The band is sometimes described simply as alternative rock because of its broader sound, but hardcore punk is its historical starting point and the genre most directly tied to the clue. Turnstile is also not the same act as Hot Mulligan, Viagra Boys, or Geese, all of which occupy different corners of the festival’s rock-oriented lineup.
