Earlier this year, Detroit's annual hardcore weekender in Tied Down Festival unveiled their 2025 line-up which featured some of the most vital bands in hardcore.  

Among the names earning top billing, Tied Down Detroit is set to feature Massachusetts mainstays American Nightmare along with the recently reunited Foundation, who delivered a highlight set at FYA to kick off the year. Detroit is also set to get a dose of that "real Sydney shit" as Aussie hardcore champs SPEED roundout the top line. 

Additional standouts confirmed for Tied Down 2025 include a diverse roster in Fiddlehead, Judge, Sanguisugabogg, The Hope Conspiracy, Mindforce, Never Ending Game, Big Boy, Disgrace, Gridiron, Regional Justice Center, Vamachara, Bad Beat and many more. 

Pulling out all the stops, Tied Down has landed the biggest get in their respective space with the announcement that Turnstile will now serve as the headliner. With no rollout, no tease, Tied Down took to their socials with nothing more than an updated image with TURNSTILE in bold at the top - front and center. 

The confirmation is the latest in a succession of intimate underplays for the hardcore juggernaut. The band recently played a massive hometown benefit show in Baltimore which drew thousands of fans. Turnstile then took on Southern California with a pair of DIY style plays in Los Angeles and along the Central Coast in Oxnard - reconnecting with their most passionate fans in significantly smaller spaces. 

Tied Down Detroit takes place May 31st and June 1st. See the complete line-up below. Get tickets - HERE
