The donation and event will be held on January 14th
Foo Fighters will play a special benefit concert on Wednesday, January 14th, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with proceeds benefiting organizations that Dave and Jordyn Grohl, along with the band, have long supported, including Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission.
The only pre-sale opportunity for this show will be on Sunday, December 7th, in-person-only as an advance ticket purchase/donation drive at the Forum. Fans can participate in the presale by donating socks and underwear (male, female, adults, children, all sizes – new/packaged only); dried pinto beans (bagged); pasta – spaghetti, macaroni (bagged or boxed); and dried rice (bagged). Please, no canned goods or perishable items.
Donations and proceeds will support Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission in their efforts to provide food, clothing, and direct services to unhoused and food-insecure Angelenos. Monetary donations support both organizations in their efforts to provide shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness.
The benefit concert also falls on Dave Grohl’s birthday. He asks that fans give whatever they can — including donations, volunteering, raising awareness, and more:
“What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause. This ain’t just a big ass rock show, it’s a big ass party with a heart. Turn up the volume, turn up the hope, but most of all….TURN UP,” Grohl shares.
The event will be held ahead of the group’s massive 2026 tour, which sees the Foos headlining venues throughout the globe. The new tour will see Foo Fighters bringing the euphoria of the band’s recent surprise US club gigs and overseas outdoor and arena spectaculars to 12 North American cities, concluding (for now) September 26th at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. European concerts will be held over the summer.
The Foo Fighters recently released their new song, “Asking for a Friend.” Featuring a decidedly darker melodic approach than the smash hit “Today’s Song,” “Asking for a Friend” ratchets up the energy and intensity of its predecessor in favor of hypnotic opening verses that build and explode into impassioned refrains of “What is real? I’m asking for a friend…”
