Baltimore Orioles to Honor Hometown Rockers Turnstile With ‘Turnstile Night’

It’s not exactly a holiday, but Turnstile will get the next best thing on July 10 when their hometown baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, host a special night in the “Blackout” band’s honor. The “Turnstile Night” during the game against the Kansas City Royals will feature the option of a special ticket package that includes a limited-edition Orioles jersey with the team name on the front and the band’s name across the back over the number 26.

The team announced that while Turnstile will not be performing at the stadium that night, they will be on hand to serve as guest “Splashers,” lending a hand to mascot “Mr. Splash” by spraying fans with a hose in certain sections when the Orioles get an extra base hit. The Turnstile event is one of many themed games on tap for the Orioles this summer, including a Diary of a Wimpy Kid Day on June 14, an anime night featuring Naruto on June 29, a Grateful Dead night on Aug. 5 — complete with a dancing bear bucket hat giveaway — and a Bravo night with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip on Aug. 19.

It’s not the first time the band has teamed up with the Orioles. Back in August 2023, they took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Camden Yards, with guitarist Pat McCrory doing the honors as bandmates singer Brendan Yates, bassist Franz Lyons and drummer Daniel Fang provided support.

Turnstile just wrapped up their second weekend performing at Coachella and they will be back on stage on May 8 with a set at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Fl., followed by the Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City on May 15 and Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn. on June 12. The group will then travel to Japan for Fuji Rock on July 24 and continue criss-crossing North America, Europe and the U.K. playing festivals through an early Oct. date at the FORM Acrosanti 2026 Festival in Mayer, Ariz.
