FOO FIGHTERS Announces Details For Benefit Concert

By: Philip Sayblack

Foo Fighters will host a special benefit concert next month.
The band made the announcement Tuesday through a news release. According to the document, the concert is scheduled to take place Jan. 14 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA. Proceeds will go to benefit two charities chosen by Dave and Jordyn Grohl: Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission.
A ticket pre-sale will take place Sunday in-person only at the Kia Forum. Audiences who participate are asked to bring items from the following list for those served by Hope The Mission and the Los Angeles Mission:

• 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)
• Please No Canned Goods, or perishable items

Rowan Vansleve, Hope The Mission President, expressed gratitude for the efforts to help Hope The Mission in a prepared statement.
“Dave, Jordyn, and Foo Fighters are a striking example of what’s possible when we decide to show up and give back. 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,” said Vansleve. “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.”
Dennis Oleesky, Los Angeles Mission shared similar sentiment in his own statement.
“The impact of this event goes far beyond one night of incredible music, said Oleesky. “Every ticket purchased and every donation will directly help feed and house our unhoused neighbors. We’re honored Foo Fighters are joining to bring real help and real hope to people across Los Angeles.” 
In addition to being a benefit for the charities, the event will also fall on Grohl’s birthday. He encouraged audiences to help celebrate the occasion by showing up and helping the cause.
“What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause,” said Grohl. “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”
