Foo Fighters are playing a very special benefit concert on Wednesday, January 14th, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with proceeds supporting organizations that Dave and Jordyn Grohl and the band have long supported, including Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission. The show, which also falls on Dave Grohl’s 57th birthday, is designed to provide food, clothing, shelter, and direct services to unhoused and food-insecure Angelenos. As Dave Grohl puts it, “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.”
The only pre-sale opportunity for this major event will be an in-person, advance ticket purchase and donation drive taking place at the Forum on Sunday, December 7th. To participate in this exclusive pre-sale, fans must bring an item or items from Hope the Mission’s requested list, such as new socks and underwear, dried pinto beans, pasta, or dried rice. Monetary donations will also support both charities in their critical efforts. Rowan Vansleve, President of Hope the Mission, praised the band, saying, “Foo Fighters and their fans have a reputation of always stepping up to help when people need it, and this concert will be no different.” Dennis Oleesky, CEO of Los Angeles Mission, added that every ticket purchased and every donation “will directly help feed and house our unhoused neighbors.”
