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.

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.
