FireAid, a highly anticipated benefit concert, is set to take place on January 30, 2025, featuring a roster of iconic performers including Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Joni Mitchell. The event aims to provide crucial support for victims of the devastating mega-wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles area. Initially scheduled for a single venue, the concert will now occur across two locations: the newly opened Intuit Dome and the famed Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, as confirmed by AP News.
Alongside Gaga and Eilish, the lineup boasts performances from other notable artists such as Green Day, Gwen Stefani, and Pink, totaling over 20 artists. More participants are expected to be announced as the event approaches. Tickets for this star-studded occasion will be available through Ticketmaster, opening for sale on January 22 at noon PT, as reported by USA Today.
The broadcasts will extend across platforms such as Apple Music, Netflix, and YouTube, providing an accessible way for fans to participate in this fundraising effort. iHeartRadio has also partnered as the event’s national audio partner, ensuring widespread reach.
All proceeds collected during the FireAid concert will be directed towards disaster relief initiatives. Contributions will be strategically advised by the Annenberg Foundation in both emergency response efforts and long-term prevention strategies to mitigate future wildfire disasters. Notably, the LA Clippers, who have their home games in the Intuit Dome, will cover the event's substantial expenses.
This concert comes shortly before the 67th annual Grammy Awards, to be held on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena, demonstrating an ongoing commitment within the music community to support recovery efforts following one of California's most catastrophic wildfire seasons.
