A star-studded lineup joins the FireAid benefit concert to raise funds for victims of the devastating LA wildfires.

Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, Gwen Stefani, Katy Perry, and Tate McRae are among the top names confirmed for the event, which will also see John Mayer and Dave Matthews performing together for the first time.

Scheduled for Jan. 30, the concert was originally set to take place at the Intuit Dome but will now span across both the Intuit Dome and The Forum in Inglewood. The show is a collaboration between Live Nation, AEG, and the Azoff Company, with proceeds supporting rebuilding efforts, aiding displaced families, and investing in fire prevention technologies for the region.

FireAid will also be broadcasted across various platforms including AMC Theatres, Apple Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio, and more, ensuring global accessibility to the concert's powerful cause. The concert follows the recent destruction caused by the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena wildfires, with firefighting efforts ongoing.

The benefit’s lineup boasts an impressive array of talent, including Gracie Abrams, Pink, Rod Stewart, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks, Sting, and legendary artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire and Joni Mitchell. The concert’s reach extends beyond entertainment, with the funds going toward a newly established 501(c)(3) organization designed to assist in recovery efforts and fire preparedness.

In a personal note, both Gwen Stefani and Billie Eilish have ties to California, making the event especially significant for them. Additionally, the Eagles rock band recently donated $2.5 million to the cause, underscoring the overwhelming support for the L.A. community during this crisis.
