The Foo Fighters will play a benefit concert in January at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, the band announced Tuesday.
Proceeds from the Jan. 14 show on Dave Grohl’s birthday will benefit charitable organizations that feed and house the needy. A pre-sale event and donation drive is scheduled for Sunday at the Forum, where ticket buyers can drop off food or clothing to donate.
Donations and proceeds will support Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission. Monetary donations will support both organizations.
Items to drop off:
- Socks and underwear, new/packaged only
- Dried pinto beans, bagged
- Pasta, bagged or boxed
- Dried rice, bagged
- No canned goods or perishable items
The in-person pre-sale will start at noon at the Kia Forum box office. No line-ups will be permitted before 8 a.m. Sunday.
“What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause,” Grohl said in a statement. “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.”
