The lineup for the highly anticipated FireAid benefit concert, organized to support relief efforts following the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, has been revealed. The star-studded event, featuring some of the biggest names in music, aims to raise funds for the rebuilding of communities affected by the fires and to support future fire prevention initiatives across Southern California.
Among the headliners for the event are Billie Eilish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gracie Abrams, and other notable performers such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Tate McRae, Earth, Wind & Fire, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Lil Baby, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stephen Stills, and Stevie Nicks. A particularly exciting moment will be the performance by Dave Matthews and John Mayer, who will take the stage together for the first time.
The benefit concert will take place on January 30, across two iconic venues in Inglewood, Los Angeles: the Kia Forum and the newly established Intuit Dome. In the coming days, additional artists and special guests are expected to be announced, according to a press release.
Fans around the world will have the opportunity to watch the concert live and contribute to the cause via various streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Apple TV, Max, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, and others. The concert will also be broadcast across 860 iHeartRadio stations, allowing even more viewers to tune in and participate in the fundraising effort.
The funds raised through FireAid will be directed towards the rebuilding of communities devastated by recent wildfires and supporting initiatives that focus on fire prevention throughout Southern California. The contributions will be managed by the Annenberg Foundation, which will coordinate efforts to ensure that the funds have the greatest impact on both short-term relief and long-term recovery measures.
This benefit concert comes after several deadly wildfires tore through Los Angeles County last week, with thousands of structures destroyed and at least 25 people confirmed dead. Dozens of people remain missing, and the fires have burned tens of thousands of acres. The Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, which raged in different areas of Los Angeles, have been particularly destructive. Though the city experienced a brief respite from the fires with calmer winds on Thursday, the devastation caused by these fires has left a lasting impact on the region.
FireAid offers an opportunity for the music industry to come together in support of the affected communities, showcasing the power of music to inspire and create positive change. With a wide array of world-renowned performers, the concert is expected to be a memorable event, while also playing a vital role in helping those who have suffered from the recent fires.
Tickets for both concerts will be available for purchase starting January 22 at 12 p.m. PDT via Ticketmaster. With such a diverse and impressive lineup, the FireAid benefit concert is shaping up to be one of the most significant charity events of the year. Fans of all ages are encouraged to participate, whether by attending the concert in person or tuning in remotely to support the cause. The event is sure to offer a powerful reminder of the importance of community, solidarity, and resilience in the face of tragedy.
By combining entertainment with philanthropy, the FireAid concert promises to not only provide relief to those affected by the fires but also raise awareness about the ongoing need for disaster preparedness and prevention efforts. The collaboration between artists, the Annenberg Foundation, and the public will contribute to the recovery process for the people of Los Angeles and beyond, ensuring that they are supported as they rebuild and recover from the devastating wildfires.
