The Foo Fighters are holding a one-night-only benefit concert on January 14, 2026, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, to support LA’s homeless and food-insecure communities.

The concert hopes to raise money and awareness for Hope the Mission and the Los Angeles Mission, two organizations that provide services for the homeless and food-insecure; with the show also marking Dave Grohl’s 57th birthday. Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission are two charities with which Grohl and his wife, Jordyn, have long been aligned.

In-person-only pre-sale for tickets begin on December 7, 2025, starting at 12 p.m. PT. at the Kia Forum box office. Tickets are limited to four, per person, with payment by physical credit or debit cards only (no cash or digital wallets). No lines are permitted before 8 a.m. PT on Sunday, December 7.

Attendees of the pre-sale are encouraged to bring donations including:

  • Socks and underwear (male, female, adults, children, all sizes—new/packaged only)
    Dried pinto beans (bagged)
    Pasta—spaghetti, macaroni (bagged or boxed)
    Dried rice (bagged)
    (NO canned goods or perishable items)

Grohl said in a press release, “What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends 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. Can’t friggin wait x.”

Rowan Vansleve, President of Hope the Mission, added: “This concert will be more than just a celebration. 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.”

Further monetary proceeds will be donated to both organizations. For those unable to attend the donation drive or the show, more information about how to help the aforementioned causes can be found on their website(s).
