A wide-range of performers across all musical genres have signed on to perform at the upcoming FireAid benefit concerts, taking place on Jan. 30 at the Inuit Dome and Kia Forum in Los Angeles. FireAid, described as ‘an evening of music and solidarity,’ will be dedicated to rebuilding communities devastated by the fires and supporting efforts to prevent future disasters throughout Southern California.
Variety reports that Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Katy Perry, Sting, Billie Eilish and Finneas, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and more will perform, with the shows also featuring performances by Lil Baby, Earth, Wind and Fire, Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani, Tate McRae, Rod Stewart, Gracie Abrams, P!nk and Stephen Stills, and performing together for the first time, Dave Matthews and John Mayer. More acts and special guests will be confirmed in the coming days. The show was originally slated for the Intuit Dome on Jan. 30, but will now also include nearly Inglewood venue The Forum.
The event, sponsored by American Express, Intuit, and UBS, will start at 6 p.m. PT and tickets go on sale Jan. 22 at noon PT via Ticketmaster. FireAid will also be broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, exclusively on “LIFE with John Mayer,” Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube, and at select AMC Theatre locations in 70 US markets.
