Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish to perform at Los Angeles wildfire benefit concert | Music

Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish are reportedly headlining this month’s benefit concert aimed at raising money for those affected by the California wildfires.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the lineup for the FireAid benefit concert also includes Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, Tate McRae and Gwen Stefani. Acts also listed but not officially confirmed by TMZ include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Gracie Abrams with more names to be added. It should take place on January 30.

The wildfires, which broke out earlier this month, have had devastating consequences in California, with 25 dead and 38 missing. More than 12,000 structures were destroyed or damaged.

FireAid was announced last week with partners Live Nation, AEG and Azoff Company. The concert will take place at the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Benefits will be “focused on rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies.”

The Eagles have already donated $2.5 million to the event. It is not yet known whether they will also occur.

In 2018, Lady Gaga worked with the Red Cross to deliver pizzas to people affected by wildfires after also being forced to evacuate her Malibu home. Stefani also started a college scholarship fund for students affected by the wildfires in 2007.

Eilish has previously spoken out about this year’s wildfires, urging her followers to help support a number of nonprofit organizations. “Even though our family is safe, many people and communities we love have endured devastating losses,” she wrote on Instagram. “Altadena in particular is very close to our hearts…it was our childhood backyard, and the families, businesses, nonprofits, and musicians who live there remain the cornerstone of our lives .”

Celebrities who have donated large sums to relief efforts include Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Lee Curtis. “This is literally where I live – everything, the market I shop at, the schools my kids go to,” she said. “Friends, many, many, many, many, many, have now lost their homes. »
