Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell to perform at FireAid benefit in LA: How to watch
A lineup of music icons, including Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Green Day, Joni Mitchell, and Gwen Stefani, will come together for a concert to support those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.
The FireAid benefit concert is scheduled for January 30, taking place at both the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood and the historic Kia Forum nearby.
Tickets for the performances will be available starting at noon Pacific Time on January 22 through Ticketmaster. Additional artists set to appear include Finneas, Earth, Wind & Fire, Katy Perry, Lil Baby, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Sting, and for the first time together, Dave Matthews and John Mayer, among more than 20 confirmed artists—with more announcements to follow. The concerts will be held at the same time and will be broadcast live across multiple platforms, including Apple Music, the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM (only on the Life with John Mayer channel), Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, YouTube, and select AMC theaters in 70 U.S. markets. iHeartRadio will be the national audio partner for FireAid.
Many participating artists have connections to Southern California, such as Eilish, a Los Angeles native, and Stefani, who grew up in Anaheim.
The events are being coordinated by Irving and Shelli Azoff in partnership with Live Nation and AEG Presents.
Donations to FireAid, which can be made at fireaidla.org, will be allocated with guidance from the Annenberg Foundation, supporting both immediate relief efforts and long-term strategies to mitigate future fire disasters. All profits from the concerts at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum will directly benefit the designated recipients. Additionally, the LA Clippers, who play at the Intuit Dome, will handle the substantial expenses for the event, as stated by organizers.
The wildfires in LA have become some of the most devastating and expensive in California’s history.
The concerts are happening just three days before the 67th annual Grammy Awards, which will take place at Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA. Many events related to the February 2 music celebration have been canceled, but the Grammy show, along with the January 31 MusiCares concert honoring The Grateful Dead and the February 1 Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala, will move forward, emphasizing fundraising and support for first responders.
The Recording Academy and MusiCares have recently launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to assist music professionals and have raised and committed over $2 million in emergency assistance for those in the music industry impacted by the wildfires.
