GLIDE Holiday Jam 2026

GLIDE is proud to announce that legendary singer Patti LaBelle will headline the 2026 GLIDE Holiday Jam, returning to The Warfield in San Francisco on Thursday, November 5.

Patti LaBelle is a three-time Grammy Award winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of numerous lifetime achievement honors. She 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. 

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

Along with Patti LaBelle, the evening will once again feature the nationally acclaimed GLIDE Ensemble and The Change Band, led by Zoe Ellis, as well as additional special guests to be announced in the coming months.

"It has long been a dream to welcome Patti LaBelle to the GLIDE Holiday Jam stage," said Gina Fromer, President and CEO of GLIDE. “Music has the power to bring people together, inspire hope, and remind us of our shared humanity. Every year, 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."

Proceeds from the Holiday Jam support GLIDE's comprehensive programs and services, which help thousands of individuals and families each year through meals, housing support, healthcare, recovery services, advocacy, and pathways out of poverty.

Tickets go on sale Friday, September 9, at glide.org/holidayjam.

Individual tickets are available at $125 and $550 (plus applicable fees), and sponsorship opportunities begin at $2,000. Join the GLIDE mailing list and/or social media pages for updates and reminders.
