Today is the Los Angeles Tribute to Taylor Hawkins put on by the Foo Fighters and the Hawkins family at the Kia Forum. Unfortunately the show will not be livestreamed like the London show was. From what I hear, the Foo Fighters are filming it to be released at later time. Here is the lineup which has expanded exponentially over the last couple days!
More names announced for the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in Los Angeles, Sept. 27th.

Unfortunately Luke Spiller of the Struts did have to pull out of the show due to Covid late last night, and we’ll see if Krist Novoselic shows up since he was on the bill for Wembley and was a no show there.

Yes, I am super jealous of the merch that is only available outside of the Kia Forum. There are a few shirts available online, with proceeds going to charities that were chosen by the Hawkins family and the Foos. Yes, I am wearing my Taylor Hawkins shirt today! I absolutely wish I would have bought tickets and gone out to LA!
There are already posts from bands who are and aren’t performing tonight. Here are just a few:
As tens of thousands gather today in LA, and millions more tune in live, streaming throughout the world in celebration of the life of Taylor Hawkins and his legacy as a global rock icon.
We want to send our thoughts and prayers to his family, the @foofighters , and his friends.❤️ pic.twitter.com/ZVNHTe4W1G— Papa Roach (@paparoach) September 27, 2022
Just a side note, that that is Sean Kinney’s of Alice In Chains drum kit that Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach is giving the knuckles to! It’s the same kit Sean was using in Council Bluffs in August!

I’m sure more bands/artists will post on their socials as the night goes on, and yes, I’m sure I’ll do another Foos and Taylor blog soon!
