Table of Contents
Turnstile, the critically acclaimed hardcore punk band, is riding a wave of success following their standout performance at Glastonbury 2025 and the announcement of a fall tour across the UK and Europe. The band’s approach to navigating expectations after their 2021 hit “Glow On” focuses on internal creative energy rather than external pressures, as drummer Daniel Fang recently shared.
Glastonbury 2025: A “Pure Intensity” Performance
Turnstile delivered a highly praised set at the Moshpit stage of Glastonbury 2025. NME awarded the performance a five-star review, highlighting the band’s focus on raw energy and precision. The review emphasized the lack of unnecessary stagecraft, stating the set was “simply reduced to the pure intensity and precision with wich they deliver each of their 15 tracks and the constant loyalty they get in return.” https://www.nme.com/reviews/music/turnstile-glastonbury-2025-review-3829231 NME predicts Turnstile will “dominate this summer – and beyond.”
In a June interview with NME, drummer Daniel Fang discussed the band’s mindset following the success of “Glow On.” He explained that the band doesn’t dwell on external expectations. “I don’t know how someone would have time or bandwidth to manage external expectations,” Fang said. he attributes this to the band’s internal strength, stating, “I don’t think any of us can even understand, because there is an infinite good within everyone (in the band) … I don’t understand how someone can be guided by this when there is so much more from which to work.” https://www.nme.com/news/music-news/turnstile-dont-feel-pressure-follow-glow-on-daniel-fang-interview-3784999 This focus on internal creativity appears to be a key factor in their continued success.
