Foo Fighters have announced a benefit concert set for January 14 at Kia Forum in LA. The shows will be in support of Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission, two local nonprofits spearheading long-term solutions for poverty, hunger, and homelessness within the city. It also happens to be Dave Grohl’s birthday.
“What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of people for a good cause,” the Foos’ band leader shared. “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. Can’t friggin wait x.”
The only pre-sale opportunity for the concert will be on Sunday, December 7, with an in-person-only advance ticket purchase/donation drive at the Forum. In order to participate in the pre-sale, hopeful attendees must bring an item (or more) from the list provided by Hope the Mission: socks and underwear (all sizes, new/packaged only!), dried pinto beans (bagged), pasta (bagged or boxed), dried rice (bagged)—no canned goods or perishable items, please!
