Make plans to Turn It Up and Turn It Out with “Godmother of Soul” Patti LaBelle headlining the 2026 GLIDE Holiday Benefit Jam, happening at the The Warfield in SF on Thursday, Nov 5!

For more than 40 years, the GLIDE Holiday Jam has brought together acclaimed artists, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable evening of music, inspiration, and hope while raising critical funds for GLIDE’s mission of unconditional love, radical inclusion, and social justice.

A beloved Bay Area tradition, the GLIDE Holiday Jam is where legendary artists meet everyday heroes, the spirit of the season shines brightest, and the community comes together to support GLIDE’s life-changing programs, including meals, housing, recovery, health access, and services for women and families.

Patti LaBelle has captivated audiences for more than six decades with her extraordinary voice, electrifying stage presence, and enduring catalog of hits.

Known worldwide as the “Godmother of Soul,” she has sold more than 50 million records and remains one of the most celebrated and influential performers in American music.

The GLIDE Holiday Jam will also feature powerhouse vocalist Destani Wolf, traditional Veracruz, Mexico music group Son de Fandango, and the legendary GLIDE Ensemble and The Change Band, led by Zoe Ellis.

“Music has the power to bring people together, inspire hope, and remind us of our shared humanity. Every year, the Holiday Jam harnesses that power to support GLIDE’s work serving our neighbors experiencing poverty, homelessness, and crisis. We are honored to celebrate this tradition with an artist whose voice and spirit have touched generations.”
