Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga to perform at LA Fire benefit concert

Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, Gwen Stefani and rock band U2 are set to perform at the upcoming benefit concert in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The Hollywood Reporter learned.

TMZ also reported that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are also among the 15 bands that will take the stage at the Intuit Dome on January 30.

FireAid was initially announced last week to support Los Angeles communities impacted by the deadly wildfires that ravaged the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena last week. Firefighters are still working to contain the fire, with the Eaton Fire 55 contained and the Palisades Fire at 22%, as of Thursday afternoon.

Live Nation, AEG and Azoff Company teamed up with the Clippers’ home in Inglewood to host the benefit show, described as an evening of music and solidarity.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit a 501(c)(3) fund established for the event that will focus on rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure Los Angeles is better prepared for fire emergencies.

FireAid will be produced by Shelli and Irving Azoff and the Azoff Family, in collaboration with Live Nation and AEG Presents. The artists have not yet been confirmed by the show’s producers.

The fires particularly affected the artists of “Birds of a Feather” and “Hollaback Girl” because they both grew up in California. Eilish was born and raised in Los Angeles while Stefani was born in Fullerton and raised in Anaheim.

Legendary rock band Eagles also donated $2.5 million to the benefit concert.

After fires initially broke out in the Palisades on January 7, fanned by strong Santa Ana winds, fires continued to erupt throughout Los Angeles County. As first responders worked day and night to contain the flames, more than 12,000 homes, buildings and structures were destroyed in the fire’s path. At least 25 people were also killed.

Many Hollywood events have also been canceled as the Los Angeles community works to recover from the devastation. Among some scrapped events were those leading up to the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards.
