Los Angeles wildfire relief is quickly becoming a leading philanthropic cause as the damage caused by the natural disaster adds up. Now, Live Nation is getting in on it: Recently, they announced FireAid, a benefit concert set for Inglewood’s Intuit Dome on January 30.
Information on tickets and who’s performing hasn’t been officially shared yet, but TMZ claims to have an inside look at the show: Per “sources with direct knowledge,” Billie Eilish (who was spotted volunteering at a relief event recently), Lady Gaga (who was spotted at a Burger King recently), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (who, like Eilish and Gaga, have LA ties) are set to be among the 50-plus performers.
In other unofficial news, according to another TMZ report, the event is becoming larger than initially expected, so much so that it will also reportedly be held at The Forum nearby. The event is apparently also expected to be livestreamed.
As for getting official information as it arrives, there’s a sign-up page here.
In their announcement of the event, Live Nation says the show is “dedicated to rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California,” and that proceeds “will go towards a 501(c)(3) created for this event that will focus on rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure LA is better prepared for fire emergencies.”
Meanwhile, The Eagles have donated $2.5 million to the event. Like the other aforementioned artists, it remains to be seen if they’ll be on the performance lineup.
