Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga on star-studded list for wildfire relief concerts

Musicians Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, and Jelly Roll will take the stage with other big names at wildfire relief concerts in Los Angeles this month, organizers said on Thursday.

Other acts for the fundraisers dubbed FireAid include Green Day, Gracie Abrams, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting, and Stevie Nicks. Dave Matthews and John Mayer will perform together for the first time.

The shows are scheduled for January 30 at the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, just outside Los Angeles.

They will be shown live in select AMC Theatres and streamed on Netflix, Max, Apple TV, Prime Video, Spotify, YouTube, and elsewhere. Audio will be available through iHeartRadio.

Parts of Los Angeles, the second-largest U.S. city and the home of many musicians were devastated last week by fast-moving wildfires that killed at least 25 people.

Donors from around the world can contribute to FireAid. Organizers said the funds will go to short-term relief and long-term efforts to prevent future fire disasters. The Annenberg Foundation will advise on the distribution of the money.

Organizers said the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, which plays at the Intuit Dome, will cover the costs of putting on the FireAid show. They added that additional performers will be announced later.
