SZA, Doechii & Other Top Dawg Entertainment Artists to Perform at Annual Holiday Charity Concert

Top Dawg Entertainment is gearing up for its annual holiday charity event in 2025, with performances from SZA, Doechii, and other label stars. The full lineup, announced Thursday, includes ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ray Vaughn, Ab-Soul, Zacari, and Kal Banx, all set to perform at Nickerson Gardens in Watts, California, for the 12th Annual TDE Holiday Charity Concert and Community Celebration. Additional surprise guests are expected to join the show.

The concert is scheduled for December 18, followed by TDEs yearly community giveback the next day. Activities will include toy distribution, raffles, youth sports, barbering services, holiday-themed photo spots, a snow experience, and on-site job opportunities. Attendees are encouraged to bring a donation, such as unwrapped toys, new clothing, or essential items, to gain entry.

Last years celebration attracted 10,000 guests and collected roughly $750,000 in donated toys and clothing, with performances by SZA, Kendrick Lamar, and GloRilla. Over the years, the event has grown into a signature weekend for TDE, showcasing the labels commitment to giving back to the community that inspired its founding by Anthony Top Dawg Tiffith.

In 2025, SZA and Kendrick Lamar dominated the Billboard Hot 100 with their 13-week No. 1 hit Luther, while Doechii made Grammy history as the third woman to win Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal and later received Billboards Woman of the Year award. Additionally, TDE president Anthony Moosa Tiffith, son of Top Dawg, earned a spot on Billboards 40 Under 40 list.
