LOS ANGELES — Major music stars will come together this Thursday for the FireAid benefit concert, which aims to raise money for wildfire relief efforts in the Los Angeles area.
The event will take place at two venues in Inglewood, California: the Kia Forum at 6:00 PM PST and the Intuit Dome at 7:30 PM PST.
If you managed to get tickets before they sold out, or if you plan to watch the live stream, here’s what you need to know.
How to Watch
The concert will be broadcast and streamed live on several platforms including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube. Select AMC Theatre locations across the U.S. will also show the event.
Who is Performing?
Artists like Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Rod Stewart will take the stage at the Intuit Dome. The Kia Forum will feature performances by other notable names including Alanis Morissette, Pink, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John Mayer among others.
Although Mayer was originally set to perform alongside Dave Matthews, Matthews will not be appearing due to a family health emergency.
There will also be special guests, including the band Dawes, who have personal ties to the recent fires. Mandy Moore, married to Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, shared on social media that a portion of their home was damaged in the Eaton fire. This tragedy has been felt by many, including Goldsmith’s bandmate, whose family also lost their home.
More Than Just a Concert
The event will include speeches from both celebrities and everyday heroes, including first responders and those affected by the recent disasters. It will also highlight the stories of the individuals impacted.
How to Contribute
If you can’t attend in person or watch online, you can still help by donating through FireAidLA.org. During the broadcast, viewers will see the link for contributions. All donations will go directly to those affected by the wildfires, managed by a trusted committee in conjunction with the Annenberg Foundation.
