Foo Fighters, Weezer, Sublime Join KROQ’s 2026 Almost Acoustic Christmas Lineup

Foo Fighters, Weezer and Sublime are among the recording acts that will be on the lineup for this year’s KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. Interpol, Joyce Manor, Julia Wolf, Almost Monday and The Linda Lindas also will be headliners at this year’s event, which will take place Dec. 12 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. KROQ, the legendary alternative rock station in Los Angeles that’s owned by Audacy, is bringing the event back to Southern California for its 35th year. The annual event also gives back to the local community, with proceeds benefiting Para Los Niños and Al Wooten Jr. Youth Center. Founded in 1980 in Skid Row, Los Angeles, Para Los Niños partners with children, youth, and their families through integrated education, wellness, support and advocacy to address individual and systemic barriers and create pathways to success. The Al Wooten Jr. Youth Center in Los Angeles hosts free after-school and low-cost summer programs, through which it revitalizes and empowers communities in crisis by providing a safe, nurturing environment committed to good citizenship and academic excellence. “Almost Acoustic Christmas has always been about the bands and their connection with our listeners,” said Kevin Weatherly, senior vp programming at KROQ. “That’s what makes this show so special, and we’re incredibly grateful to the artists who take the time to be part of it. Celebrating 35 years of this together is pretty amazing. And to be able to give back to two great organizations supporting local youth makes it that much more meaningful.” Tickets go on sale at noon Oct. 30.
