Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile turned America's capital into a massive mosh pit during its concert at the Washington Monument.
Turnstile performed a free show at the National Mall, with all donations used to fund their humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon.
Viral footage of the raucous concert shows thousands of attendees crowd surfing and moshing with the Washington Monument towering in the background.
Turnstile fans took to social media to applaud the impressive turnout at the National Mall.
"First in my bloodline to be in a mosh pit on the National Mall," a concert attendee commented on Instagram.
"Somewhere in that footage I almost got moshed to death. It was such an adrenaline rush and SO amazing to be a part of history being made," an Instagram user commented.
"MOSHINGTON DC!" a user exclaimed.
"Epic performance and crowd," an Instagram user wrote.
Turnstile performed for roughly 75 minutes in the nation's capital, according to the Washington Post.
Per the Baltimore Banner, roughly 60,000 fans were in attendance.
During their set, Turnstile performed several hit songs, including "HOLIDAY," "TLC," and "BIRDS."
Midway through the set, frontman Brendan Yates thanked the crowd for showing out and supporting their cause. He told the crowd, "We're so grateful to have been raised by this scene. One that taught us that music not only reflects the artist making it but the people and the world and the suffering and the joy that surrounds it."
The benefit concert concluded Turnstile's second North American tour in support of their Grammy-winning album Never Enough.
Hassan Wadi, Global Director of Human Concern International, said, "As a Gazan, I cannot be prouder of the Turnstile team and community for coming together to support the people of Gaza, Lebanon and Sudan. Three regions who have suffered so much. With your support we aim to provide food, water, medical care and shelter to families in need. In all three regions. Thank you all for your support."
The Baltimore hardcore band raised over $220,000 for Human Concern International's relief efforts in the three regions.
