Following the recent string of devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area—an area well-known for its dense population of artists, entertainers, and related industry members—benefit concerts started popping up to aid fire relief and recovery efforts in the local community. Then, even more were announced. Then, one already arena-sized benefit concert expanded to a second arena. Some have already taken place and raised considerable relief money, but there are still plenty left on the docket.
To make a long story short: there are a lot of amazing Los Angeles fire relief benefit concerts coming up featuring high-profile artist lineups, they’re all doing great work for those in need, and they should all be on your radar—even if it’s getting a little tough to keep up with all of them.
Let this article serve as your handy guide to the many L.A.-area fire relief benefits taking place in the coming days and weeks.
FireAid | Intuit Dome & Kia Forum | January 30th, 2025
The biggest Los Angeles wildfire benefit of them all is FireAid, set to take place at two separate arenas, Inglewood’s Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. What started as a single-arena event grew as the lineup expanded. Now, the two arena blowouts will take place simultaneously on January 30th, with a livestream and multi-option simulcast available to viewers around the world.
The monumental event is produced by Shelli and Irving Azoff and family, in collaboration with producing sponsor Live Nation and operating sponsor the LA Clippers. The benefit concert will be led by Joel Gallen of Tenth Planet as executive producer, with Rick Krim serving as the FireAid talent producer.
Contributions made to FireAid in connection with the FireAid benefit concert and other direct donations will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California. The FireAid benefit concert initiative has already raised more than $60 million ahead of showtime via ticket sales, sponsorship dollars, and donations. That number only stands to increase via donations made by from-home viewers on one of 25 streaming outlets running the feed—all of which will be matched dollar for dollar by Steve and Connie Ballmer, the owners of the LA Clippers.
The high-profile artist lineup for the Intuit Dome includes Billie Eilish, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Sting, and Tate McRae. Artists set to perform at the Kia Forum include Alanis Morissette, Anderson. Paak, John Mayer, Dawes, Graham Nash, Green Day, John Fogerty, Joni Mitchell, No Doubt, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, and The Black Crowes.
The Kia Forum event will start at 6:00 p.m., followed by the Intuit Dome show at 7:30 p.m. Those who buy tickets for Intuit Dome will be able to view the Kia Forum show on screens inside the Intuit Dome, and conversely, when the Kia Forum show ends, fans inside will be able to view the acts at Intuit Dome on screens at the Kia Forum until the end of the event.
Tickets for both venues are on sale via Ticketmaster. All service fees will be waived to ensure that 100% of the proceeds go to FireAid relief efforts. Tickets are only valid for the venue that you selected when you purchased your tickets. They are not valid for both venues.
Fans around the world will be able to experience the event and make contributions to the cause via an official broadcast/livestream on Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM’s “LIFE with John Mayer” channel, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube, and at select AMC Theatre locations in 70 U.S. markets. iHeartRadio will serve as the national audio partner to FireAid, using its more than 860 radio stations, digital platforms, and the iHeartRadio app. Tune in to the YouTube FireAid livestream and view show details below.
