We ended 2018 with a bang with LA GIVES BACK 3 – our annual charity event for the homeless!

With the help of our friends Brownies & Lemonade, Emo Nite, Ninja Tune, Mad Decent, Adult Swim, Restless Nites, Ham on Everything and Late Night Laggers, we threw a top-tier event filled with countless surprise performances, stage dives, and endless dancing. Huge thanks to artists who donated their time like Diplo, Valentino Khan, Bonobo, TOKiMONSTA, JPEGMAFIA, GTA, Flosstradamus, Whethan & many more!

If you wanted to take a breather from the non-stop booty shaking, attendees could take a trip to Santa’s Lair to snap some holiday photos with the infamous Death Metal Santa and his minion. Plus, we never let you leave LAGB empty handed. Folks also walked away with tons of free swag courtesy of our pals at Adult Swim.

Additional thanks to all of the wonderful people and organizations who donated to the auction like Eric Andre, Mad Decent, Grumpy Cat, Shepard Fairey, Tenacious D and so many more.

In the end, we raised $76,000 for Downtown Women’s Center & My Friends Place! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you all.

Every year it amazes us how willing our community is to do GOOD with us! Thanks for making 2018 an incredible year. We can’t wait to show you what’s to come in 2019 for IHEARTCOMIX.
