The City of Angels came alive with a powerful display of music and solidarity last night as some of the biggest names in the industry took the stage for FireAid, a benefit concert aimed at helping Los Angeles recover from two of the largest wildfires in its history.
With two sold-out shows running simultaneously at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome, the event brought together an eclectic mix of over 20 artists, all uniting for one cause—supporting fire-affected communities and preventing future disasters.
A Lineup to Remember
The FireAid concerts featured a mix of legendary icons and contemporary chart-toppers. Fans at Intuit Dome witnessed powerhouse performances from Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Rod Stewart, Sting, Katy Perry, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Tate McRae, Lil Baby, and others. Meanwhile, at Kia Forum, rock and pop enthusiasts were treated to acts like No Doubt, Green Day, Alanis Morissette, Pink, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer, Joni Mitchell, and Stevie Nicks.

Originally scheduled to perform, Dave Matthews had to withdraw last minute due to a family emergency, but the show went on, with each artist delivering a set of two to four songs. To keep the momentum going, performances were staggered and live-streamed across both venues on massive screens, ensuring non-stop entertainment.

More Than Just a Concert
Beyond the star-studded lineup, FireAid also served as a platform to honor the first responders and individuals who lost their homes and loved ones in the devastating fires. The Palisades and Eaton fires, which erupted on January 7, became two of the largest wildfires LA has ever seen, fueled by fierce winds that sent embers flying across miles. The flames destroyed over 16,000 homes and businesses and tragically claimed 28 lives.

For those unable to attend in person, the event was streamed live on a variety of platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Peacock, among others. The concert also aired in select AMC and Regal theaters across the country, ensuring a wide reach for this crucial fundraising effort.
How to Help? Every Dollar Counts!
The Annenberg Foundation is overseeing all funds raised through FireAid, ensuring that donations go directly toward immediate relief for victims and long-term fire prevention initiatives. Donations remain open, and viewers can still contribute by texting or visiting FireAidLA.org.

Adding to the impact, Connie and Steve Ballmer, owners of the LA Clippers and both event venues, pledged to match all donations made during the broadcast, doubling the community’s support.
A Night of Music, Hope, and Rebuilding
With Los Angeles still recovering from the devastation, FireAid proved to be more than just a concert—it was a symbol of resilience, unity, and hope. While the scars of the fires remain, the overwhelming support from artists, donors, and fans promises a future where LA can rebuild stronger than before.
For those who missed the concert, donations are still being accepted—because every note played and every dollar given brings LA one step closer to recovery.
