Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 21, for Rock 2 Freedom, an annual fundraiser backed by In-N-Out Burger.
It will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.
This year’s headliner will be the Offspring, the punk band founded in Garden Grove that played the BeachLife festival in Long Beach last May. The band is known for its 1994 breakout album “Smash,” which was boosted by KROQ-FM, which is a partner in the Rock 2 Freedom concert.

The In-N-Out “family band,” .48 Special, will open the show. It is named for 1948, the year In-N-Out was founded in Baldwin Park, and is made up of staff members, including owner and president Lynsi Snyder. It usually puts on a flashy show with pyrotechnics and aerial acrobatics. Clips of the band in action are included in In-N-Out’s Facebook reel announcing the concert.
General admission tickets are $75 and include a cookout with In-N-Out trucks before the doors open.
The Wiltern, at 3790 Wilshire Blvd., is a 1931 Art Deco movie palace that can hold more than 2,000 concertgoers. It’s currently a Live Nation venue that has been remodeled to have a pit section in front of the stage.
Last year’s Rock 2 Freedom concert took place at the Hollywood Palladium with Papa Roach headlining.
The Offspring will also perform Oct. 2 at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, Oct. 18 at the Mission Bayfest in San Diego, and Nov. 6 at the SEMA Fest at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Rock 2 Freedom benefits Slave 2 Nothing, a non-profit set up by Snyder and her husband Sean Ellingson to combat substance abuse and human trafficking. Concerts take place in October, which is Substance Use Prevention Month. The 2025 concert raised $934,700 for the cause.
Slave 2 Nothing usually puts on a car cruise and dinner devoted to combating human trafficking in January.
