Foo Fighters are playng a special benefit concert on Wednesday, January 14 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with proceeds benefiting organizations that Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn and the band have long supported, including Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission.
The only pre-sale opportunity for this show will be a Sunday, December 7 in-person-only advance ticket purchase / donation drive at the Forum. To participate in this pre-sale, please bring an item or items from the following list from Hope the Mission, who will be on site to collect them:
Donations and proceeds will support Hope United’s partner organizations 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 will support both organizations in their efforts to provide shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness.
Grohl said, “What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of people 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. The best gift is TO GIVE.”
Rowan Vansleve, president of Hope the Mission, said, “Dave, Jordyn, and Foo Fighters are a striking example of what’s possible when we decide to show up and give back. This concert will be more than just a celebration, it’s a statement that it will take all of us working together to end homelessness in our city so that no one is left suffering on our streets. We’re incredibly grateful to partner with the band. 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 the Los Angeles Mission, added, “The impact of this event goes far beyond one night of incredible music. Every ticket purchased and every donation will directly help feed and house our unhoused neighbors. We’re honored Foo Fighters are joining to bring real help and real hope to people across Los Angeles.”
