Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Los Angeles is set to host FireAid, a high-profile charity concert aimed at raising funds for wildfire relief. Featuring an impressive lineup of global music icons, the LA Wildfire Charity Concert promises to provide much-needed support for communities devastated by recent wildfires in Southern California.
A Gathering of Stars on LA Wildfire Charity Concert
Scheduled for January 30, FireAid will take place simultaneously at two iconic venues in Inglewood, California—the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. Performers include Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Sir Rod Stewart, alongside a host of artists with strong ties to the Golden State.
The diverse lineup also features the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Stevie Nicks, Earth, Wind & Fire, Pink, Sting, Green Day, and Gracie Abrams. Rising stars like Tate McRae and Jelly Roll, as well as legendary acts such as Stephen Stills and the duo of Dave Matthews and John Mayer, will also grace the stage.
With such a broad mix of artists, the concert promises an unforgettable experience for attendees while serving a vital purpose.
California’s Wildfire Crisis
The need for relief is urgent. Since January 8, Southern California has faced devastating wildfires in the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Pasadena areas. These fires have claimed at least 27 lives, displaced tens of thousands of residents, and consumed nearly 40,000 acres of land.
The Palisades fire, the largest among the blazes, remains only 27% contained, while the Eaton fire is reported to be 55% contained, according to NBC News. Firefighters are working tirelessly to bring the infernos under control.
Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley has described the situation as “one of the worst natural disasters in the city’s history.”
A Community United for Relief
Efforts to aid affected communities have seen generous support from individuals and corporations alike. Beyoncé has pledged $2.5 million to relief initiatives, while The Walt Disney Company has contributed $15 million. These donations, combined with the proceeds from FireAid, aim to address both immediate needs and long-term strategies to prevent future disasters.
All funds raised through FireAid will be managed by the Annenberg Foundation, ensuring the money is distributed effectively to support wildfire victims and recovery efforts.
The Impact of FireAid
The dual-venue setup will allow artists to perform for a wider audience, creating an immersive experience for attendees. The Intuit Dome, home to the LA Clippers, and the Kia Forum will host performances simultaneously, underscoring the magnitude of this charitable initiative.
Simon Larkin, Senior Director of Events for WRC Promoter, praised the concert’s mission, saying, “It’s an honor to be part of this effort. We’ve been warmly welcomed by Los Angeles, and we’re excited to contribute to such an important cause.”
FireAid not only highlights the entertainment industry’s solidarity during a time of crisis but also reflects the resilience of Southern California communities. Events like these bring hope, healing, and tangible resources to those most affected.

With its powerful lineup and a clear mission, FireAid promises to make a lasting impact on the communities it seeks to support. As the music plays, so too will the spirit of unity and compassion that defines Los Angeles in the face of adversity.
