INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Foo Fighters announced the band will play a benefit concert Jan. 14 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles with proceeds benefiting charitable organizations that aim to feed and house the needy.
The only pre-sale opportunity for the show will be an in-person advance ticket purchase and donation drive Sunday at the Forum in Inglewood. Prospective ticket buyers are asked to bring an item of food or clothing to donate.
Donations and proceeds will support Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission in efforts to provide food, clothing and direct services to unhoused and food-insecure Angelenos. Monetary donations will support both organizations in efforts to provide shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness.
The benefit concert falls on Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl’s birthday.
“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.”
