Turnstile’s 2023 performance at Rock en Seine, captured at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud during the festival’s 20th-anniversary edition, is exactly the kind of set that reminds you what a great live band can do to a massive crowd. Frontman Brendan Yates led the French audience through a whirlwind of mosh pits and singalongs, pulling from ‘Glow On’ with fan favorites “MYSTERY,” “BLACKOUT,” and the anthemic “HOLIDAY,” before singer-songwriter Julien Baker joined for a moving rendition of “UNDERWATER BOI” that shifted the entire energy of the room. Hardcore, dream pop, alternative rock, raw intensity, and genuine melody, Turnstile held all of it together without losing a single person in that crowd.
