The L.A. offering is the second of two tributes to the band’s late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away earlier this year. The show will take place at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.
The Foo Fighters shared an announcement on Twitter, writing, “More names announced for the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in Los Angeles, Sept. 27th. 5pm PT Doors Open 7pm PT Show Begins #TaylorHawkinsTribute“

Many of these artists appeared at the rock band’s first Taylor Hawkins tribute concert, which took place in London earlier in September.
That show lasted for six hours and saw 50 songs performed, including a viral performance from Hawkins’ son Shane performing “My Hero” on drums. Also in London, frontman Dave Grohl’s daughter covered Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse.
Tickets and merchandise from both Hawkins tribute shows will benefit Music Support and MusiCares, which was the request of Hawkins family.
