Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Katy Perry, Sting, Billie Eilish and Finneas, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and more will play the upcoming FireAid benefit concerts on Jan. 30 at the Inuit Dome and Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The shows will also feature performances by Earth, Wind and Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, P!nk, Rod Stewart, Stephen Stills, Tate McRae, and performing together for the first time, Dave Matthews and John Mayer. Additional artists, special guests, and lineups for each venue will be announced in the coming days.
The events will aid L.A. communities impacted by the deadly wildfires that destroyed hundreds of structures across the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena. The Santa Ana winds have lessened across the Greater Los Angeles area, helping firefighters corral over 40,000 acres of the ongoing wildfires, per a Thursday report from NBC News.
Fans across the globe can tune in and make contributions to the cause, as FireAid will be broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, exclusively on “LIFE with John Mayer,” Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube, and at select AMC Theatre locations in 70 US markets.
iHeartRadio will serve as the national audio partner to FireAid, using its more than 860 radio stations, its digital platforms and the iHeartRadio app.
The Azoff Company, Live Nation and AEG Presents-produced benefit will be “a night of music and solidarity… with the goal of rebuilding community and supporting prevention efforts,” according to its initial announcement.
Proceeds from the show will go towards a 501c3 non-profit with the funds supporting rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure L.A. is better prepared for fire emergencies.
Tickets for both concerts go on-sale starting Jan. 22 through Ticketmaster.
ASCAP, Amazon, Sony, Warner Music and more music companies have issued multi-million dollar donations to help fix the destruction, and to better navigate future wildfire threats. There are also a number of financial and mental health resources available for industry workers and musicians whose homes or livelihoods have been threatened.
