Past editions of Love Ride have featured world-class live music performances from legendary artists including Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, BB King, Crosby Stills and Nash, Sheryl Crow, Sammy Hagar, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dwight Yoakam, Montgomery Gentry, Joe Walsh, Chevy Metal, Gene Simmons, Social Distortion, Robby Krieger, and many more. These unforgettable performances have helped energize riders and supporters while raising millions for great causes.
Music has always been at the heart of Love Ride, creating an atmosphere of celebration, community, and purpose. From rock legends to emerging artists, the event continues to attract top talent who believe in the mission of giving back.
Love Ride® began in 1984 as a grassroots motorcycle event driven by a simple mission: to support those less fortunate. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the most respected single-day motorcycle charity events in the world, attracting as many as 20,000 participants at a single event and raising more than $25 million for a wide range of great causes.
Celebrities like Peter Fonda, Brian Cranston, Robert Patrick, Dennis Hopper, Ann Margret, Nancy Sinatra, Lorenzo Lamas, Willie G. Davidson, Larry Hagman, Lindsay Wagner, and many more have joined tens of thousands of riders from across Southern California to make a lasting impact.
Now entering Love Ride 35 edition in 2026, the event continues its legacy with renewed momentum, expanded community support, and a clear focus on helping veterans, first responders, and youth-focused nonprofit initiatives.
The Love Ride Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Oliver Shokouh. Its mission is to raise funds for organizations that improve lives through health, education, emergency support, and community-driven programs for veterans, first responders, and children. It supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association for 16 of the 35 editions.
“Love Ride 35 builds on our legacy of giving back to our community and riding together for something bigger than ourselves.”
— Oliver Shokouh, Founder & Chairman
