Metallica invited Turnstile to join them on tour, but the Baltimore hardcore band turned down the offer, according to Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
Speaking on a recent episode of his SiriusXM show Riff Life, Hetfield said the band wanted Turnstile to tour with them but that the group was already doing well on its own.
Hetfield praised Turnstile’s live performances, saying the band brings a distinctive energy to the stage. He also described its members as fun to spend time with.
His comment about a woman now playing in the band referred to British guitarist Meg Mills, who joined Turnstile’s touring line-up in 2023.
Turnstile released its fourth studio album, Never Enough, in June 2025. Earlier this year, the group followed it with Never Enough: Versions, featuring contributions from Elton John, Hayley Williams, Blood Orange, A.G. Cook and others.
Last weekend, the band played a free concert at the National Mall in Washington, DC. The show drew an estimated 60,000 people and raised more than $220,000 for humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon, according to the report.
Turnstile won Best Rock Album for Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for Birds at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
