Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby to Perform at FireAid Benefit Concert for L.A. Wildfire Victims
Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, Gwen Stefani and the rock band U2 are set to perform at the upcoming benefit concert in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
TMZ also reported that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are also among the 15 acts set to take the stage at the Intuit Dome on Jan. 30.
FireAid was initially announced last week to support the L.A. communities impacted by the deadly fires that tore through the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena last week. Firefighters are still working to contain the blaze, with the Eaton Fire 55 contained and the Palisades Fire 22 percent contained, as of Thursday afternoon.
Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff Company have partnered with the Clippers’ home in Inglewood to host the benefit show, described as an evening of music and solidarity.
Proceeds from the concert will go toward a 501(c)(3) created for the event that will focus on rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure L.A. is better prepared for fire emergencies.
The fires especially hit close to home for the “Birds of a Feather” and “Hollaback Girl” artists, as they both grew up in California. Eilish was born and raised in L.A. while Stefani was born in Fullerton and raised in Anaheim.
Legendary rock band Eagles also previously donated $2.5 million to the benefit concert.
FireAid will be produced by Shelli and Irving Azoff and the Azoff family, in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents.
More to come.
