Turnstile Reimagines ‘Never Enough’ at Tiny Desk With First Stage Dive

The NPR performance arrives days before the Never Enough Tour begins.

Overview

  • The Baltimore band played an in-person NPR Tiny Desk set in Washington, D.C., focusing on material from their 2025 album Never Enough.
  • They performed five songs — “Dreaming,” “Sunshower,” “I Care,” “Never Enough,” and “Birds” — in arrangements tailored to the intimate setting.
  • Turnstile expanded the lineup with Troy Long on piano plus a two-piece horn section featuring Tobias Moody on saxophone and Theljon Allen on trumpet.
  • Frontman Brendan Yates vaulted from the desk to crowd-surf during “Birds,” and a small mosh pit formed near the close of the set.
  • The appearance marks a return to Tiny Desk after a remote 2022 entry, with the group set to launch the Never Enough Tour on Sept. 15 with SPEED and Jane Remover, and select dates with Mannequin Pussy, Amyl & The Sniffers, and Blood Orange.
