For The Children: SOS Booking Toy Drive at The Belasco

If you are looking for LA concerts that do some good on the side, the For The Children toy drive at The Belasco is the one for punk and hardcore fans. The weekend run takes place on December 12 and 13, 2026, and the price of getting in includes a toy for a kid who needs one.

When: Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2026 (weekend pass) Where: The Belasco, 1050 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Entry: A toy donation is required

What to expect

The listing names Cro-Mags and Death Threat among the acts. Cro-Mags are New York hardcore veterans, known for fast, heavy songs and a crowd that treats the floor as part of the show. Death Threat come from the same punk and hardcore world. The listing carries a Music/Rock/Punk classification, so expect loud, short, physical sets rather than a seated night out. The Ticketmaster page does not publish set times or the full daily lineup, so check it before you go.

The ticket is a weekend pass covering both December 12 and 13. The listing shows a placeholder start time, so confirm door times with the venue or Ticketmaster before planning your evening.

The toy drive

Entry depends on a toy donation, which is what makes this one of the more charitable things happening in Los Angeles this winter. The listing does not spell out which toys are accepted, so bring something new and unwrapped if you want to be safe, and look for guidance on the official event page. The event is all ages, so younger fans can come along with the right adults.
