Sting, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are among the major artists scheduled to perform at FireAid, a benefit concert designed to support wildfire relief efforts in the Los Angeles area.
Initially planned for the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, FireAid will now take place across two venues: the Intuit Dome and the neighboring Kia Forum on January 30.
The event will be broadcast live on platforms like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Netflix/Tudum, Prime Video, Paramount+, and YouTube, among others. It will also stream on iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, and Spotify and screen at select AMC Theatre locations across the U.S.
Proceeds from the concert will support short-term relief and long-term wildfire prevention initiatives, under the guidance of the Annenberg Foundation. Organizers have pledged that all funds will directly benefit designated relief efforts.
The lineup boasts a mix of renowned artists, including Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Pink, Rod Stewart, Gwen Stefani, Green Day, Stevie Nicks, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lil Baby, Jelly Roll, and Tate McRae. Dave Matthews and John Mayer will perform together for the first time, while other notable additions to the lineup include Olivia Rodrigo, Alanis Morissette, Stevie Wonder, Peso Pluma, Anderson .Paak, and the Black Crowes.
Tickets for FireAid go on sale Wednesday at 12 p.m. PDT via Ticketmaster. Detailed schedules for each venue will be announced soon.
The concert is being produced by Shelli, Irving, and the Azoff family, alongside Live Nation and AEG Presents.
In response to the devastating wildfires, several celebrities and organizations have made significant contributions, including Beyoncé, who donated $2.5 million through her BeyGOOD foundation for wildfire relief. The Recording Academy and MusiCares also launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort last week, starting with a $1 million donation and subsequently distributing $2 million in emergency aid.
Meanwhile, the 67th annual Grammy Awards, set for February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, will proceed as planned but with a stronger focus on supporting wildfire relief efforts.
