Turnstile Lands Tiny Desk’s First Stage Dive With Reimagined Set

The Baltimore band re-scored five Never Enough tracks with piano plus horns for an in-office set days before its tour kickoff.

Overview

  • NPR released the in-person Tiny Desk performance from Washington, D.C., featuring Turnstile playing material exclusively from the 2025 album Never Enough.
  • Brendan Yates dove from the desk during Birds for what NPR confirms is the series’ first stage dive as staffers formed a lively pit.
  • The expanded lineup added Troy Long on piano with Tobias Moody on saxophone and Theljon Allen on trumpet alongside the band’s five core members.
  • The setlist comprised Dreaming, Sunshower, I Care, Never Enough, and Birds, with arrangements tailored for the room, including a piano-led version of the title track.
  • The appearance serves as a lead-in to the Never Enough Tour starting September 15, with SPEED and Jane Remover on all dates and select shows featuring Mannequin Pussy, Amyl & The Sniffers, or Blood Orange.
