The best concerts in L.A. this January

Concerts for wildfire relief keep popping up, and this one is a must for indie-rock fans. All proceeds from For Los Angeles—which spans two nights, at the Troubadour on January 22 and across town at the Lodge Room on January 28—will go directly toward the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery and Pasadena Community Foundation’s Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery Fund. Actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse will host the night at the Troubadour, where Phantom Planet, Annika Bennett, Cannons, Local Natives, Lydia Night, Madison Cunningham, Winnetka Bowling League and more will take the stage (get tickets here). At the Lodge Room the following week, you can catch stripped-back sets from Lord Huron, Stephen Sanchez, Magdalena Bay, Madi Diaz, Zinadelphia and more (get tickets here).

Produced and curated by IHEARTCOMIX, this fundraiser—the seventh installment of LA Gives Back—is backed by some of the city’s coolest promoters. This time around, 100% of the funds raised will go to charities supporting victims of the wildfires, first responders and animals in need. The lineup drops January 27, but promises an “incredible” group of artists, special guests and partners donating their time for a one-night-only concert that will showcase the city’s music scene. (Past LA Gives Back artists have included ZEDD, Bonobo, Flying Lotus, TOKiMONSTA, SNL’s Sarah Sherman, Weyes Blood, Tim Heidecker and Eric André, so we have high hopes for the latest lineup.)

As firefighters continue to work to get the Los Angeles wildfires under control, many of us are wondering: What can we do to help? FireAid, a just-announced benefit concert taking place January 30 at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome, offers one way. Proceeds from the event will go toward “rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure L.A. is better prepared for fire emergencies.” We can’t think of a worthier cause. Billie Eilish and Finneas, Green Day, Joni Mitchell, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many, many more top the lineup. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, January 22 at noon via Ticketmaster.
