LADY GAGA, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, GREENDAY, AND OTHERS TO PERFORM AT FIREAID BENEFIT CONCERT IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles is gearing up for a star-studded night of music and hope as Live Nation announces FireAid, a benefit concert to aid communities devastated by recent wildfires. Scheduled for January 30, the dual-venue event will take place at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum, bringing together some of the biggest names in music for an unforgettable evening of solidarity and support.

The concert will feature performances by an extraordinary lineup of artists, including Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Billie Eilish and Finneas, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Other confirmed acts include Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, Pink, Rod Stewart, Stephen Stills, Tate McRae, and—for the first time performing together—Dave Matthews and John Mayer. Organizers have promised additional artists and special guests; venue-specific lineups will be announced in the coming days.

Recent wildfires have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles, destroying hundreds of Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena structures. Proceeds from FireAid will go to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with funds earmarked for rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies. The goal is to ensure that Los Angeles is better prepared for future wildfire emergencies.

For those unable to attend in person, FireAid will be broadcast across a wide range of platforms, including select AMC Theatres, Apple Music, the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube. This expansive broadcast reach ensures that supporters worldwide can join to aid the affected communities.

FireAid is being produced by The Azoff Company, Live Nation, and AEG Presents, three powerhouses in the entertainment industry. The event promises to be “a night of music and solidarity,” as described in its official announcement, with the overarching mission of rebuilding the community and supporting prevention efforts.

The initiative has already garnered significant support from major music companies, including ASCAP, Amazon, Sony, and Warner Music, which have collectively contributed multi-million-dollar donations. Financial and mental health resources are also available to musicians and industry workers whose homes and livelihoods have been impacted by the fires. Click HERE for more information.

As Los Angeles works to recover and rebuild, FireAid stands as a testament to the power of music to bring people together in times of crisis. Mark your calendars for January 30 and join the world in supporting those affected by the wildfires.
