Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry & More Stars to Join FireAid Benefit Concert for L.A. Wildfire Victims
Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani and more acts have also joined the cause.
Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, U2 and several more stars have joined the lineup for FireAid, the Jan. 30 benefit concert that has expanded from the Intuit Dome to also include the Kia Forum to support victims of the ongoing wildfire crisis that has devastated the Los Angeles area.
Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani, Tate McRae, Rod Stewart, Sting and Stevie Nicks are also locked in for the charity showcase. Also on the bill are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, John Mayer; Earth, Wind & Fire, Green Day, Gracie Abrams, Joni Mitchell, Lil Baby, P!nk and Stephen Stills, with more to be added.
Hosted in partnership between Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff family, FireAid will be broadcast by select AMC Theatres, Apple Music and the Apple TV App, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube. Viewers will be able to contribute to the fundraiser as they watch.
The event, sponsored by American Express, Intuit, and UBS, will start at 6 p.m. PT and tickets go on sale Jan. 22 at noon PT via Ticketmaster.
Plans for the FireAid concert were first announced Jan. 10. Billed as an “an evening of music and solidarity,” proceeds from the concerts will be distributed with the help of the Annenberg Foundation, and will span creating an organization to rebuild Los Angeles’s infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and preventing future fire disasters. All costs of the event will be covered by the LA Clippers, who play at the Intuit Dome.
The news of the lineup comes more than a week after dangerous fires first broke out in Pacific Palisades — after which more blazes emerged and spread rapidly through other parts of the city — burning countless structures and forcing tens of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes for safety reasons. At least 25 people have died so far in the destruction, CNN reports.
The concert is just one of many ways the music industry has stepped up to support victims of the fires amid the crisis. ASCAP, Guitar Center Music Foundation, MusiCares, the Recording Academy and more organizations have busied themselves with the creation of emergency funds and resources for those affected, while Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group and more have made sizable donations to the cause.
The entertainment industry has been hit particularly hard by the catastrophe, as numerous executives and artists — including stars such as Jhené Aiko, Mandy Moore and Tina Knowles — have reported losing their homes, studios and recording equipment to the fires. Several events in the area have also been canceled, including most Grammy week gatherings (the actual awards are still expected to go on as scheduled Feb. 2), while the Critic’s Choice Awards have been postponed to Jan. 26.
