The multiple wildfires that have ravaged California have sadly been the defining story of 2025, an offseason continuation of the natural disasters that have wreaked havoc in the region throughout the 2010s. While California at large has been affected by these conditions for years, this has easily been the most wide-ranging and visibly destructive to date, leveling the homes of many who call the state home—including familiar faces for music fans given the region’s obvious cultural significance. In response, LA artists are coming together for the Fire Aid benefit concert, set for January 30th at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. Here’s everything you need to know.
Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo And A No Doubt Reunion Headline The LA Show
Understandably, many of the names who line the all-star cast for the occasion are faces of the Los Angeles music scene, none more synonymous nor momentous than Billie Eilish and Finneas. In that same class, Tate McRae and Gracie Abrams join the Hit Me Hard & Soft singer, along with pop icons Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. Truly, it’s an across-generations sort of affair, as massive California institutions like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Green Day and Earth, Wind & Fire all also join.
In the days since the announcement, the ripples across the industry were severe and fast-moving. Of the late additions, it might just be Gwen Stefani’s addition, confirming a No Doubt reunion, that brings in the most headlines. However, there’s no shortage of star power in the addendums. Olivia Rodrigo and Anderson .Paak, both LA icons in their own right, joined the effort. Zooming out, elder icons like Stevie Wonder, Graham Nash and Alanis Morissette got in on the occasion.
Former Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff and his wife Shelli are the primary movers behind the Fire Aid show, also leveraging relationships with live music organizations LiveNation and AEG Presents.
Where To Watch The Fire Aid Benefit Concert & Additional Efforts
As mentioned towards the top, the star-studded roster necessitated a two-venue approach, with the lineup split between the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome since the initial news broke. Tickets went on sale on January 22nd, with all proceeds donated to various causes benefitting victims of the wildfires. Fire Aid announced pricing at that same juncture.
However, given the significance of this event, there will also be a variety of streaming options, with a litany of digital platforms from Max to Apple TV to Prime Video to YouTube scheduling live broadcasts on the 30th. Check out all ticket options and the full rundown of where to watch the Fire Aid benefit concert via their official website.
