Just announced: FireAid, a benefit for Los Angeles
Thousands of acres of LA have been wiped out because of the wildfires. Damages will probably soar past US$250 billion. To raise money, Irving Azoff (a music business power broker and super band manager) and his wife Shelli are organizing FireAid, a benefit for victims of the fire. It’s set for January 30 at the Intuit Dome and KIA Forum.
Here’s the initial lineup of artist:
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Billie Eilsh and Finneas
- Dave Matthews
- John Mayer
- Green Day
- Gracie Adams
- Gwen Stefani
- Jelly Roll
- Joni Mitchell (!!!)
- Lady Gaga
- Lil Baby
- Rod Stewart
- Sting
- Stephen Stills
- Stevie Nicks
- Tate McCrae
- And, um, Earth, Wind & Fire (insert your own irony-based joke here)
- More TBA
Tickets go on sale next Wednesday (January 22) at 9am ET through Ticketmaster. All proceeds will go a series of designated beneficiaries. American Express, Intuit and UBS are the first brand partners.
The event will also be streamed Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube, and at select AMC Theatre locations in 70 US markets.
