It's the season of giving, and Foo Fighters have just announced how they'll be aiding the greater good. In January 2026, the rock group is set to headline a benefit concert that will support unhoused and food-insecure individuals in Los Angeles.
The show will take place at the Kia Forum on Wednesday, January 14 - that’s Dave Grohl’s birthday - with proceeds going to Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission. Those charities have provided a list of items sought for donation, which you can deliver at a donation drive at the Forum on January 7 from midday Pacific Time. Contributors will be able to buy pre-sale tickets in person.

Grohl said in a press release acquired by Pitchfork, “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.”
Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission - two charities with which Grohl and his wife, Jordyn, have long been aligned - are seeking the following items:
- 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)
They are not seeking canned goods or perishable items.
In other Foo Fighter news, the group dropped a new track, "Today's Song," back in July, as well as the single "Asking For a Friend" in October. They recently traded drummers with Nine Inch Nails; Ilan Rubin is now part of the group, while Josh Freese has moved to Trent Reznor's band. Additionally, Foo Fighters released a Live EP on October 3, and are preparing for a 2026 stadium tour.
