by | Jan 18, 2025

An evening of incredible music in LA has been announced by way of the twin FireAid Benefit Concerts across Intuit Dome and Kia Forum on 30th January. The parallel shows are being held dedicated to rebuilding communities that have been devastated by wildfires that continue to burn. The events promise an unforgettable experience with performances by a diverse lineup of chart-topping artists.

LA natives Billie Eilish & Finneas lead the names playing the Kia Forum, while LA-hailing Red Hot Chili Peppers will take to the Intuit Dome stage. Names from across the US and UK will join them with the likes of Dave Matthews and John Mayer playing together for the first time, Gracie Abrams, Bay Area heroes Green Day and Laurel Canyon legend Joni Mitchell playing the Kia Forum show while Lady Gaga, P!nk and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks are joined by British legends Rod Stewart and Sting over at Intuit Dome.

FireAid will raise money “for rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California”, according to a press release. Contributions will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation, which will “help coordinate a team to direct funds for the greatest impact” and provide “short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters”.

The fires began on 7th January and have spread across thousands of acres throughout the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, businesses, schools and wiping our entire communities in it’s wake.

“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. I’ll be performing live next to one of my musical heroes, Dave Matthews at @FireAidLA ” stated John Mayer via his official X/Twitter account.

Tickets for the FireAid Benefit Concerts at Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum will go on sale Wednesday 22nd January at 12:00PM PST. There will be no presale for the events and tickets will be show specific, with the events kicking off in parallel at 6pm PST on 30th January.
