A star-studded lineup featuring Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Katy Perry, Sting, Billie Eilish, Finneas, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline the FireAid benefit concert on January 30. The event will take place at the Inuit Dome and Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with additional performances by Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, P!nk, Rod Stewart, Stephen Stills, Tate McRae, and a special collaboration between Dave Matthews and John Mayer.
FireAid is organized to raise funds for the Los Angeles communities affected by the recent devastating wildfires that have ravaged areas like Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena. As of Thursday, NBC News reported that the Santa Ana winds have calmed, allowing firefighters to contain over 40,000 acres of the ongoing blaze.
The concert will be streamed globally, giving fans an opportunity to contribute to the cause. The event will be broadcast live across multiple platforms, including Apple Music, Apple TV, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video, Amazon Music on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, and select AMC theaters in 70 U.S. cities.
iHeartRadio, the national audio partner for FireAid, will utilize its vast network of more than 860 stations and its digital platforms to amplify the concert’s reach.
Produced by The Azoff Company, Live Nation, and AEG Presents, FireAid promises “a night of music and solidarity” with the goal of rebuilding local communities and supporting fire prevention efforts.
All proceeds from the event will benefit a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with funds directed toward rebuilding infrastructure, assisting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies. These initiatives aim to strengthen Los Angeles’ preparedness for future fire emergencies.
Tickets for the two concerts will go on sale on January 22 through Ticketmaster.
In addition, major music industry players such as ASCAP, Amazon, Sony, and Warner Music have contributed multi-million dollar donations to help rebuild the affected areas and improve strategies for managing future wildfire risks. Financial and mental health resources will also be available for industry workers and musicians whose homes or careers have been impacted by the fires.
