Written by djfrosty on January 16, 2025
Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga and several more stars have joined the lineup for FireAid, an upcoming benefit concert at the Intuit Dome supporting victims of the ongoing wildfire crisis that has devastated the Los Angeles area.
As reported Thursday (Jan. 16) by The Hollywood Reporter, the “Bad Guy” singer and Joker: Folie a Deux actress are just two of many people rallying around the cause, with Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani, Tate McRae and U2 also locked in for the charity showcase. There have also been reports that the Red Hot Chili Peppers will take the stage as well.
Hosted in partnership between Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff Company, the show will take place Jan. 30.
Billboard has reached out to representatives for Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gwen Stefani for comment.
The news comes more than a week after dangerous fires first broke out in Pacific Palisades — after which more blazes emerged and spread rapidly through other areas of the city — burning countless structures and forcing tens of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes for safety reasons. At least 25 people have died in the destruction, CNN reports.
Plans for the FireAid concert were first announced Jan. 10. Produced by the Azoff family, the event is being advertised as “an evening of music and solidarity.”
The concert is just one of many ways the music industry has stepped up to support victims of the fires amid the crisis. ASCAP, Guitar Center Music Foundation, MusiCares, the Recording Academy and more organizations have busied themselves with the creation of emergency funds and resources for those affected, while Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group and more have made sizable donations to the cause.
