Foo Fighters Plot Los Angeles Benefit Show on Dave Grohl's 57th Birthday

Foo Fighters Plan a Star-Powered Benefit Show in Los Angeles to Honor Dave Grohl's 57th Birthday

In a heartwarming gesture, Foo Fighters are organizing a charity concert in Los Angeles on January 14 at the Kia Forum. The event will raise funds for Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission, organizations dedicated to addressing poverty, homelessness, and hunger.

The concert will take place on what would be Dave Grohl's 57th birthday, with the frontman expressing his excitement about using this milestone as an opportunity to make a positive impact. Grohl has been a long-time supporter of both Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission, and he and his wife Jordyn are committed to giving back to their community.

The show promises to be more than just a typical concert, with Grohl emphasizing its purpose: "This ain't just a big ass rock show, it's a big ass party with a heart." In an effort to ensure that tickets reach local fans rather than scalpers, the band will sell advance tickets exclusively in-person at the Kia Forum box office.

To participate in the ticket sale, fans must bring items for donation, including socks and underwear, dried pinto beans, spaghetti or macaroni, and dried rice. Unfortunately, canned goods and perishable items are not accepted.

Hope the Mission's President Rowan Vansleve praised Foo Fighters as an example of what can be achieved when individuals come together to make a difference. "This concert will be more than just a celebration, it's a statement that it will take all of us working together to end homelessness in our city so that no one is left suffering on our streets."

The Foo Fighters' upcoming 2026 stadium tour is already generating excitement among fans, with the band set to kick off their run in Toronto on August 4 and conclude in Las Vegas on September 26.
 
🀘 just saw the news about Dave Grohl's benefit concert πŸŽ‰ and I'm totally stoked! Did you know that Foo Fighters have sold over 120 million albums worldwide? πŸ“ˆ That's a total of 2.5 million tickets sold in 2020 alone, which is insane! 🀯 As for the charity event, according to their website, Hope the Mission has served over 30 million meals since its inception. And with only $20 million in annual budget, can you believe it? πŸ€‘ The event on January 14 at Kia Forum will surely be a huge hit. By the way, have you checked out the ticket sales so far? 🎟️ They've already broken records for the most tickets sold in one hour! πŸ’₯
 
Ugh, what's up with this whole thing? Like, Dave Grohl gets a birthday and suddenly everyone has to get all mushy about it? A charity show, sure, I guess that's nice. But let's not forget the real motive here - cash for the band. They're gonna rake in millions from ticket sales and the event is basically just an excuse for them to flaunt their philanthropy.

And don't even get me started on the donation requirements... dried rice? Really? I mean, what's next? We're all gonna be expected to bring canned goods and fresh produce to these charity events? It's just a way for the rich folks (or in this case, a famous rock band) to feel good about themselves without actually doing anything substantial.
 
🀩 I love how Dave Grohl is turning his birthday into a celebration for a good cause! It's amazing that Foo Fighters are using their platform to give back to their community πŸ™. The fact that they're selling advance tickets exclusively at the box office and encouraging fans to bring donations in exchange for them is so thoughtful 🎁. It's not just about raising funds, but also about spreading awareness about homelessness and poverty 🌎. I'm definitely looking forward to this concert and hoping it inspires more people to get involved 🀝. The fact that Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission are being supported is a huge win for LA πŸ™οΈ!

i'm also really stoked that they're partnering with organizations like hope the mission and los angeles mission to help address poverty, homelessness, and hunger 🌎. dave grohl's been vocal about his support for these causes for a while now, so it's awesome that he's taking action on his birthday. let's keep our fingers crossed that this concert will make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most πŸ’ͺ.
 
I'm stoked for Dave Grohl's birthday bash πŸŽ‰! I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to rock out with Foo Fighters? And it's awesome that they're using this milestone to give back to the community - that's what birthdays are all about, right? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ But seriously, I'm loving the whole donation-thingy for tickets... like, who needs canned goods when you can bring some socks and get in on the party? πŸ˜‚ Can't wait to see the band kill it at the Kia Forum!

OMG 🀩 I'm so down for a Foo Fighters benefit show! I mean, who doesn't love Dave Grohl's energy? 🀘 It's amazing that they're using his birthday as an opportunity to give back to the community – it's like he's taking inspiration from The Office (US) where Michael Scott would throw parties for random reasons. This is going to be such a feel-good event, I can already imagine the rock concert vibe and all the awesome music 🎸. I'm not sure if they're getting any other big-name guests, but fingers crossed it's gonna be epic!
 
Ugh, I'm getting so tired of these charity events that just end up as fancy ticket sales 🀯. Can't they think of a better way to give back? Like, why do they need to sell advance tickets in-person when you could just make it online or something? It's not like fans are gonna start scalping them if they can buy 'em easily πŸ˜’.

And what's with the weird donation stuff? I mean, dried pinto beans and spaghetti? Who even does that anymore? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Can't they just ask people to bring some cash or something? It feels like they're trying too hard to be all wholesome and community-spirited πŸ’š. And honestly, it's gonna end up being a super exclusive event where only a select few get to experience the "heart" of the show πŸŽ‰.
 
awww thats so cool! foo fighters are amazing and dave grohl is literally the best. its awesome that he's using his birthday as an opportunity to give back to the community and raise money for some great orgs. i wish i could be there 🀩🎸 i'm sure it'll be a huge party with a heart, just like dave said! hope the mission can make a real difference in people's lives πŸ’–
 
πŸ€” I mean, can you believe how generous Dave Grohl is being? Like, yeah, he's a rockstar, but it's not like we should be surprised he's giving back to the community. He's always been about using his platform for good, even if some people might think that's just part of being "cool" or whatever. Anyway, I'm all for supporting these charities and stuff – Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission do important work, and it's awesome they're getting some extra attention from Foo Fighters. And I love that they're making sure tickets aren't sold to scalpers; that's super considerate of them πŸ™. It'll be a sick concert, too (no pun intended 😎). Just don't expect me to sell my socks and dried rice for a chance to see the band – not gonna happen!
 
omg this is so cool 🀩 foo fighters are literally the best and i love how they're using dave's birthday as an excuse to give back to the community πŸŽ‰ it's amazing that they're selling tix in-person only to keep them from getting scalped, that's just pure class πŸ‘ hope the mission and la mission are gonna get a ton of cash for all the good they do πŸ’Έ let's be real though, who needs another benefit concert when we could just give more money directly to people in need πŸ€”
 
omg 🀩 can't believe Dave Grohl is turning 57! it's so cool that Foo Fighters are hosting a star-powered benefit show to honor his birthday, and I love how they're making sure tickets go to fans who need them most - donating socks and other essentials is such a great idea! 😊
 
🀩 I'm stoked about this charity concert! 🎸 It's awesome that Dave Grohl is using his birthday as a chance to give back to the community. The fact that Foo Fighters are doing this in-person ticket sales thing, where fans can bring donations instead of just buying pricey tickets online... it's genius πŸ’‘! I'm all about supporting local charities and making a positive impact, and this concert sounds like an amazing way to do just that 🌟. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Foo Fighters live? 🀘
 
I'm not feeling too generous about this charity concert πŸ€‘. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that Dave Grohl is using his birthday to give back to the community, but have you seen the ticket sale process? Like, who does this? Selling tickets only in-person at the box office? That's just gonna price out regular people and give those scalpers an easy way to make a profit πŸ€‘. I get that they want to keep it local, but can't they just do it online like normal? It feels like they're trying too hard to control who gets tickets...and honestly, I'm already annoyed about having to donate canned goods to attend the thing πŸ˜’. Still, gotta give credit where credit is due - it's a great cause and all that jazz πŸ’–.
