As California continues to reel from the ongoing effects of widespread wildfires, some of the biggest music acts from across the decades are coming together to benefit communities impacted by this tragedy.
FireAid, a benefit concert taking place on January 30, has announced an impressive lineup of A-list stars, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Joni Mitchell, and many more.
FireAid is a one-night event taking place across two iconic L.A. two venues, the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. All proceeds from the concert, including direct donations, will be distributed by the Annenberg Foundation to aid with short-term relief efforts and preventative measures for future fire disasters.
Several artists on the bill have taken to social media to discuss their involvement and belief in the cause.
"Truly inspired by my community’s activism. So grateful to contribute in my own way," Katy Perry said on her Instagram page.
"It’s an honor to be in a position to help a cause as important as rebuilding lives and communities that were devastated by wildfires," wrote John Mayer, who will perform alongside Dave Matthews for the first time ever.
"I moved from Canada to Los Angeles five years ago to pursue my dreams and consider myself blessed to call this place home," wrote Tate McCrae in a particularly heartfelt post. "I am inspired by so many people in this city - all of whom are selfless, hardworking, strong, and compassionate. I’m so honored to be a part of this incredible group of artists coming together for our city."
Tickets for FireAid go on sale Wednesday, Jan 22 through their official website.
For those who can't make it in person, the concert will play at select AMC Theatres and will also be made available through several streaming services including YouTube and Netflix. You can view the full lineup below.
