Foo Fighters to Stage Benefit Concert for LA's Homeless on Frontman Dave Grohl's Birthday
In a heartwarming gesture, Foo Fighters will host a benefit concert in Los Angeles on January 14 at the Kia Forum, with all proceeds going towards two organizations working tirelessly to combat poverty, homelessness, and hunger: Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission. The show is also conveniently timed to coincide with frontman Dave Grohl's 57th birthday.
As an advocate for these causes, Grohl has been vocal about his support for both organizations. When asked how he wants to celebrate this milestone birthday, Grohl humorously replied that making noise with friends for a good cause was the perfect way to spend it. "This ain't just a big rock show; it's a big party with a heart," he wrote in a statement, urging fans to "turn up the volume, turn up the hope."
To ensure tickets don't fall into the wrong hands, Foo Fighters have implemented a unique ticketing system for local fans. On December 7 at noon, fans can line up in person at the Kia Forum box office in Inglewood, California, to purchase four tickets each using a physical credit or debit card. The catch? Each fan will be limited to just four tickets.
To make this event even more special, Grohl and his wife Jordyn have kindly requested that fans bring donations for Hope the Mission, which include socks and underwear, dried pinto beans, spaghetti or macaroni, and dried rice (all bagged). Unfortunately, canned goods and perishable items won't be accepted.
The benefit concert is a testament to Foo Fighters' long-standing commitment to giving back. As Rowan Vansleve, President of Hope the Mission, noted, "This concert will be more than just a celebration; it's a statement that we're all in this together to end homelessness in our city." The band and their fans have always shown a remarkable willingness to lend a helping hand when people need it most.
With Foo Fighters' 2026 stadium tour already announced, fans will soon have the opportunity to catch their favorite rockers live on stage.

can you believe Foo Fighters are hosting a benefit concert for LA's homeless on Dave Grohl's birthday? It's like, they're just spreading love and positivity wherever they go 
! And the best part is that all the proceeds will be going towards two amazing orgs that are literally changing lives. I'm def hyped to see this show happen 
. The fact that Grohl wants to celebrate his birthday with a good cause and not some lavish party is just so inspiring 
!
what's even better is dat they got a special ticketing system in place 2 ensure its not just about sellin out a show but actually makin a diff 
fans r goin all out by bringin donations too, talk bout turnin up the volume & turnin up da hope 
hope the mission & la mission r gonna get dat dough & make some real change in los angeles 
foo fighters are always a blast to watch live and now they're doing it all for an awesome cause 
57 is a great age btw, still got that rockstar energy 
its just gonna be a big event with a bunch of rich people in the audience who are only there for the party vibes. what about the poor folks out there who actually need help? maybe instead of throwing some money at the problem we should be figuring out ways to really tackle homelessness and poverty in la?
they're even askin people to bring donations, not just cash 
. what about the rest of us who want to go but can't afford the extra hassle? also, socks and underwear? really? can't they just take in whatever we got?
.
gotta get those fans involved & give back at the same time
. Like, when will they actually put their money where their mouth is? Meanwhile, Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters are out here making a tangible difference in the community. It's kinda like the difference between rhetoric and action, you know? The fans are all hyped up about turning up for a good cause, but what's happening on Capitol Hill that's gonna make real change happen? Shouldn't we be seeing more organizations like Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission getting funding from our elected officials instead of relying on charity events? It's time to get our politicians involved in solving this complex issue, rather than just being bystanders 
. I'm definitely getting my family together and heading to the Kia Forum on January 14! We'll be there with donations in hand 
cant wait to see them live on stage next year!
