We could all use a bit of a pick-me-up right now. And a wildfire benefit concert that features a mix of L.A. legends and recent (and upcoming) Coachella headliners? It just might be the first jolt of excitement we’ve felt in days.
FireAid, a benefit concert that’ll be staged simultaneously at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum on January 30, just announced its lineup, and it’s big. The decades-spanning initial lineup—yes, that means more artists are still to be announced—includes Billie Eilish and Finneas, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, Tate McRae and a first-ever team-up between Dave Matthews and John Mayer.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, January 22 at noon via Ticketmaster. There’s no presale, and pricing info won’t be available until the sale begins. But all proceeds—under the direction of the Annenberg Foundation—will be sent to a to-be-named list of short-term relief efforts for the Palisades and Eaton Fires as well as some long-term initiatives. (And don’t worry about the expenses of the event itself: The Clippers will be covering that cost.)

Since both shows start at 6pm, you’ll only be able to attend one of them. You’ll be able to choose which one when purchasing your ticket; so far specific lineups for each Inglewood venue haven’t been released.
If you aren’t able to attend, FireAid will be broadcast on just about every streaming platform: Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM’s “LIFE with John Mayer” channel, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps and YouTube. In addition, iHeartRadio will be broadcasting it on more than 860 radio stations as well as on its app, and select AMC Theatres in 70 U.S. locations will host screenings.
FireAid is being produced by manager and former Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff along with his wife Shelli and the Azoff family, in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents.
