Top Dawg Entertainment returns with its annual holiday benefit: the 12th Annual TDE Holiday Charity Concert is scheduled for December 18, 2025, and will feature performances by SZA, Doechii and additional label artists.
The full lineup — announced Thursday, December 4, 2025 — lists ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ray Vaughn, Ab-Soul, Zacari and Kal Banx among the performers. The concert will be held at Nickerson Gardens in Watts, California, and TDE says more special guests will be revealed in the coming days.
The following day, December 19, TDE will host its annual community giveback. Attendees can expect toy distributions for local children alongside raffles, youth sports and activities, barbering services, holiday photo setups, an artificial “snow” experience and on-site job opportunities for community members.
Sharing the announcement on Instagram, TDE summed it up succinctly with the message: “12 Years Strong!”
Entry to the concert is donation-based — guests are asked to bring an unwrapped toy, new clothing or other essential items to the entrance. Last year’s weekend drew roughly 10,000 people and collected about $750,000 worth of donated toys and clothing, with performances by SZA, Kendrick Lamar and GloRilla.
TDE’s benefit weekend has grown into one of the label’s most significant community efforts, a moment for the company founded by Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith to give back to the neighborhood where it started. This year, company president Anthony “Moosa” Tiffith — Top Dawg’s son — was recognized on Billboard’s 40 Under 40 list.
In 2025, SZA and former TDE labelmate Kendrick Lamar spent a remarkable 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit “Luther.” Doechii also enjoyed major milestones this year, becoming just the third woman to win Best Rap Album at the Grammys for Alligator Bites Never Heal and later being honored as Billboard’s Woman of the Year.
