Dakota Johnson to Mosh with Turnstile on SNL

Dakota Johnson is returning to host Saturday Night Live, with the acclaimed Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile as the musical guest. In a promotional video for the upcoming episode, Johnson playfully declared her readiness to "form a wall of death," showcasing an energetic anticipation for the performance.

This appearance marks a significant moment for the genre, as Turnstile is the first hardcore band to perform on SNL since Fear's notoriously disruptive set in 1981. The band, comprised of Brendan Yates, Franz Lyons, Pat McCrory, Daniel Fang, and Meg Mills, recently achieved critical success.

Turnstile converted two of their four nominations at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, securing wins for Best Rock Album for "Blackout" and Best Metal Performance for a track from the same album. Johnson's hosting gig coincides with her promotion for the film "Verity" and her appearance in Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" music video.
