Foo Fighters are closing out the year with heart, volume, and a renewed dedication to the city that helped shape their identity. The band has officially announced a special benefit concert in Los Angeles, with proceeds supporting two of the region’s most vital outreach organizations: Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission.
The one-night event, set to take place at a yet-to-be-revealed iconic L.A. venue, will focus on raising funds and awareness for homelessness support, an issue the band members have frequently voiced their concern about, especially as the crisis continues to escalate across Southern California.
A Cause Close To The Band’s Heart
Dave Grohl’s compassion for community support programs has become well-known in recent years. From volunteering at mission kitchens to personally cooking massive BBQ meals for people in need, Grohl has developed a reputation for showing up quietly and doing the work. This concert is an extension of that same spirit, but on a much bigger, louder scale.
“Los Angeles has given us everything,” a band representative noted in the announcement. “This is our way of giving something meaningful back.”
Supporting Two Lifeline Organizations
Hope the Mission (formerly Hope of the Valley) provides shelter, housing solutions, addiction recovery support, and meal services to unhoused individuals throughout the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Mission, serving on Skid Row since 1936, is one of the city’s most longstanding humanitarian institutions, known for food distribution, emergency shelter, long-term recovery programs, and community services for people experiencing homelessness.
Both organizations rely heavily on donations to maintain and expand their services, especially during periods of extreme weather and increased demand.
What Fans Can Expect
While the full lineup for the night has yet to be announced, Foo Fighters have hinted at special guests, unreleased collaborations, and a career-spanning setlist crafted exclusively for this event. The band is also planning limited-edition merchandise, with all profits going directly to the beneficiary missions.
Given their history of marathon shows, and Grohl’s known refusal to step off a stage until the crowd is fully spent, fans can expect an unforgettable performance.
A Rallying Call For Community
The benefit concert arrives at a time when Los Angeles is grappling with one of its most challenging homelessness crises in decades. By leveraging their platform, Foo Fighters aim to bring more visibility, and crucially, more resources, to organizations working tirelessly on the front lines.
Tickets are expected to sell out instantly, and additional donation channels will be made available for fans worldwide who want to contribute to the cause.
With this event, Foo Fighters are proving once again that rock ’n’ roll isn’t just about music, it’s about community, compassion, and leaving the world a little louder and a little better than they found it.
