A benefit concert will be held in Los Angeles and streamed live on Thursday, Jan. 30, to support communities affected by the wildfires. FireAid, which will take place in tandem at both Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, will feature performances from artists including Billie Eilish and Finneas, Green Day, Lady Gaga and Stevie Nicks.
All proceeds from the FireAid concert, along with direct donations, will be administered through the Annenberg Foundation to fund short-term relief efforts, as well as fire prevention initiatives throughout Southern California. According to their website, FireAid's 501(c)(3) status is pending.
The full lineup will include: Dave Matthews and John Mayer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Lil Baby, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Stephen Stills, Sting and Tate McRae.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, Jan. 22. The concert will also be broadcast at select AMC Theatres and through YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV, and several other streaming services.
Singer-songwriter John Mayer, who will perform alongside Dave Matthews for the first time at FireAid, took to Instagram to share the news. "It's an honor to be in a position to help a cause as important as rebuilding lives and communities that were devastated by wildfires," he wrote.
