BUY TICKETS: A Show Benefitting Hope United w/ The Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum

It’s the halfway point of the week, Scenestar readers. We’re ready to rock for a great cause, so the easiest pick for Wednesday to fill that itch goes to our Show of the Night, Foo Fighters! To celebrate Dave Grohl’s birthday, Foo Fighters will be raising funds tonight, courtesy of a show with special guests at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, to raise funds for Hope the Mission and the Los Angeles Mission as part of their special benefit concert.

If you can’t get into our Show of the Night, your other music options include performances by Kate Berlant, Tyler “Boogie” Boudreaux, Lady Gaga, The Lemon Twigs, Dean Lewis, Pink Mountaintops, Arin Ray, Andrew Santino, Styx, Ryley Walker, Ali Wong, and many more.
