Violet Grohl is headed to San Francisco for a headlining show of her own.
The singer-songwriter, who has previously appeared onstage with her father, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, is scheduled to perform an all-ages show Oct. 27 at Rickshaw Stop. The venue holds about 350 to 400 people.
General admission ticket sales, listed for $25, are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 2.
The San Francisco stop comes as Grohl, 20, begins establishing herself outside one of rock’s most recognizable family names. Her debut album, “Be Sweet To Me,” was released Friday, May 28, and leans into moody alternative rock shaped by dream pop, post-grunge guitars and the darker textures of late-1980s and 1990s indie music.
The Rickshaw Stop date is part of a run of shows following the album’s release, including festival appearances and dates tied to Grohl’s growing solo career. Flood reported that the San Francisco concert will be presented with Popscene, the long-running local indie promoter.
The show offers a much smaller setting than the stages where many Bay Area fans first encountered Grohl. She joined Foo Fighters during the band’s 2023 Outside Lands headlining set in Golden Gate Park, singing on “Shame Shame,” “The Teacher” and “Show Me How.”
In 2018, she appeared with Dave Grohl at Oakland’s Fox Theater during the Notes & Words benefit for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, singing Adele’s “When We Were Young” while her father accompanied her on acoustic guitar.
Foo Fighters also returned to Northern California last month as one of the headlining acts at BottleRock Napa Valley, the Memorial Day weekend festival at the Napa Valley Expo.
Grohl’s first widely released recording arrived in 2021, when she and her father recorded a cover of “Nausea” by the Los Angeles punk band X. But “Be Sweet To Me” marks a more formal introduction, presenting her not as a guest vocalist but as a songwriter building her own catalog.
The album’s official listing describes it as an 11-track debut, with songs including “Bug In The Cake,” “Applefish” and “Cool Buzz.” Grohl worked with producer Justin Raisen, whose credits include Kim Gordon and Yves Tumor, and recorded the album in Los Angeles from late 2024 into early 2025.
“Going into the studio and recording felt like the path that I was supposed to be on,” Grohl said in a statement.
She added the album was shaped by her broad listening habits, with references to trip-hop, new wave, black metal, acoustic folk, vocal jazz and alternative bands including Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, the Breeders, PJ Harvey, the Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7 and Juliana Hatfield.
