As Los Angeles continues to grapple with the effects of the most devastating fire in its city’s history, a number of prominent artists are stepping up to create an “evening of music and solidarity.” The FireAid Benefit Concert is set for January 30th utilizing both the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum, with an all-star lineup led by Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Jelly Roll, and Gwen Stefani set to take the stage.
The current lineup is rounded out by P!NK, Sting, Stephen Stills, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Lil Baby, Gracie Abrams, Tate McRae, Green Day, Katy Perry, and Rod Stewart, with more artists reported to be coming on board for the event in the coming days. Update: No Doubt, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Alanis Morissette, Anderson .Paak, Dawes, Graham Nash, John Fogerty, Peso Pluma, and The Black Crowes have joined the lineup.
Tickets will become available on Wednesday, January 22nd at noon PT (3:00 p.m. ET) via Ticketmaster. Stay in the loop on ticketing and donation information by signing up here.
Those interested in tuning in to the event from afar have plenty of options: FireAid will be simulcast on Apple TV, Max, Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video, YouTube, and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, along with select showings in AMC Theaters. Audio will be broadcast to Apple Music, iHeart Radio, SiriusXM, and SoundCloud.
Presented by Live Nation in conjunction with AEG and the Azoff Company, FireAid is “dedicated to rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.” Proceeds from the event will be collected in a new non-profit fund focused on repairing the extensively damaged infrastructure, supporting families and individuals whose homes were lost to the blaze, and the development of strategies for future fire-related emergencies.
The Eagles supported the event from afar with a donation of $2.5 million.
The devastating fire has affected hundreds of thousands of residents, and plenty of artists, industry members, and celebrities have lost their homes to the fires, particularly in the Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, and Altadena.
Ahead of FireAid, those looking to contribute to relief efforts can explore this list of organizations on the ground and ongoing fundraisers. Additionally, we’ve launched a special “All for LA” edition of our Protect Live Music shirt — take one home here.
Currently, the Grammy Awards (scheduled for February 2nd) are planning to proceed on the originally scheduled date, with the event shifting towards a benefit structure as well.
