Grammy-Winning Indie Rock Band Kicks Off Tour After Ex-Guitarist Indicted for First-Degree Murder
Just days after new legal developments surfaced involving Turnstile's former guitarist, the Grammy-winning hardcore group took the stage at Welcome to Rockville.
The Baltimore-based band officially kicked off another stretch of live performances this weekend, continuing a massive festival run following their recent Grammy win.
While their set was slightly postponed due to tropical Florida weather, the group performed hits like "MYSTERY," "HOLIDAY," and newer releases like "BIRDS" and "Never Enough," which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay in 2025.
The band even got a shoutout from Dave Grohl during the Foo Fighters set that followed. "Nothing gets you pumped up like watching f**king Turnstile right before you go on," Grohl said to the crowd.
The performance comes shortly after former guitarist Brady Ebert was indicted on an upgraded charge of attempted first-degree murder in Maryland. According to court records first reported on April 30, Ebert, 33, is now facing the new charge in addition to attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and second-degree assault tied to an alleged incident that took place in March.
Authorities previously alleged that Ebert struck William Yates-the father of lead singer Brendan Yates-with his vehicle before leaving the scene. William, 79, reportedly suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized following the incident.

Reports from The Baltimore Banner stated that Ebert says he acted in self-defense, and under Maryland law, the attempted first-degree murder charge carries the possibility of a life sentence if convicted. The band had already separated from Ebert years before the arrest.
Despite all that, the band has continued moving forward with a packed touring schedule that includes appearances at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza this year.
Rockville started as a relatively small Florida rock event back in 2011 and has since exploded into a four-day destination festival that brings in hundreds of thousands of fans to Daytona Beach each year. The fest takes place on the iconic Daytona International Speedway and features five stages, carnival rides, and delicious food.
This year's lineup includes huge bands like My Chemical Romance, Guns N' Roses, and Alice Cooper.
